Output to file

[fan27]

With the following code:


var fFile = new File("myfile.txt");
fFile.open("at+");
fFile.writeln(getMonth() + getDay());
fFile.close();

How is it possible that I am getting one digit numbers written to my file?

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried to do a debugPrintln() to see what the values are when you get them?

getDay() returns 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, etc if I remember correctly. Is this what you expected?

Hello Garth,

I am getting the same output with:

debugPrintln(getMonth() + getDay())

I dont see how this could possibly Print a 1 digit number. What am I missing?

FWIW if I run debugPrintln(getMonth() + getDay()) I get a return of 17 which I think is correct (ie 5+12)

I think the thing I was missing was my brain. I was wanting to concatinate getDay() onto geMonth(). I should have used the && operator instead of the + operator.

thanks

I don't think && will give you the result you want. Try
debugPrintln(getMonth() +""+ getDay());
