Trying To Save Data In A Binary File @_@

[Tubby_Kat]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Help with saving modified data in a binary file. @_@


What is the problem you are having?
The modified data isn't being saved in the end.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I kept trying different ways in saving the data...I need help.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

This is just a part of the program so please don't comment on the lack of variables, and also if you want to see the rest or the beginning of the program just ask.

Turing:

open : fileNum, "ContactRecords.bin", read, mod, seek put "Enter new email address: " .. get student.emailAddress put "Do you want to save the modification? (Y/N) " .. if answer = "Y" or answer = "y" or answer = "yes" then     open : fileNum, "ContactRecords.bin", write     write : fileNum, student.emailAddress     close : fileNum     put "Changes were saved" else     %changes were saved     put "No changes were saved" end if close : fileNum

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

You're opening the file twice before you ever write to it. Try removing the second open statement (and the close statement that it's coupled with) and try that instead.

I tried that. >____<
It didn't work

This is the whole program

(Snip!)

Mod edit: Removed program per user's request.

I just deleted 5 of your posts. If you accidentally post a thread or post twice, PM a mod and they can take care of it for you.

Thank you for using the syntax tags, though.

Every time you open a file to write to it, you must include a mod[ify] statement to tell the computer to modify the existing file, and not to overwrite it. Like this:

Turing:

open : fileNum, "filename", write, mod
