Hi everyone, i am trying to use Stream stmReport = write("C:\\temp\\MyReport.doc") to write some strings on a word file using stream write however even tough i try to use this function as stmReport << memo_x << memo_y << strcompare ,where memo_x, memo_y, and strcompare are the strings to be written, Stream truns no result except creation of the MyReport.doc.
What's for sure, memo_x, memo_y and strcompare are well defined and can be displayed via text DBE element.
My ultimate goal is to write down all differences between two baseline on a word file. As it is complicated to integrate my code in the Word export code, i opted to use Stream write. Also perhaps it might be helpful to underline that baseline comparison is performed without a problem.
Thanks alot in advance to those who pay attention. Kind regards

Re: why stream write does not function?

For the empty file, did you close your stream after finishing the export using the 'close(Stream s)' perm?
Then, you should be aware that with a Stream you always create a plain ASCII file, not a Word file, so don't expect to be able to insert any fancy formatting etc. via Streams.

Can DXL be trusted when you write an empty stream?
