I'm using seq.eof() to check whether is it End Of File, which the file only contain one word for example testing. But it's not working. I tried to press enter after the word testing, then it's work. Any idea to solve this without pressing enter?

Have you tried open mode "t" in Seq.open() function?

You should specify the "t" option when reading from or writing to a text file on Windows NT systems (for example, "rt+"). This ensures that line separators and EOF characters are handled correctly.

Hi Manish,

I tried the method that you suggested. Still not working. I create one .txt file and type "testing and then press enter" - working, but if i just type "testing" without press enter it direct go to break condition. if i din use seq.eof() to check whether is end of file, then it will continue loop cos of the while loop that i used. Below is how i write the script:


fname = seq.open(ascii.file, "rt+")

while(true)
nFlag = seq.gets(file.rec, 1024, fname)

if seq.eof(fname) <> 0 then
break
endif
endwhile

Here is a working example from a code I wrote:

save.file = seq.open(filename, "r")
while not seq.eof(save.file)
cont = seq.gets(line, MAX_LINE, save.file)
if cont<>0 then break endif
| do what ever you want with the text...
endwhile
seq.close(save.file)

Or

while seq.gets(buff,1024,inputfile)=0
| Do your stuff here.
endwhile


This seems to work for us on UNIX platform, not sure about other platforms.

Hi George,

Thanks a lot. It's work perfect.

I was also using the same way as described by you but I was missing 'cont' variable usage, now my function also working perfectly.

Thanks
