function FileWrite(Handle: Integer; const Buffer; Count: Integer): Integer;
Description
FileWrite writes Count bytes to the file given by Handle from the buffer specified by Buffer. Handle is a file handle returned by the FileOpen or FileCreate method.
The return value is the number of bytes actually written, or -1 if an error occurred.
The following example uses a button, a string grid, and an Open dialog box on a form. When the button is clicked, the user is prompted for a filename. When the user clicks OK, the specified file is opened, read into a buffer, and closed. Then the buffer is displayed in two columns of the string grid. The first column contains the character values in the buffer. The second column contains the numeric values of the characters in the buffer.
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
iFileHandle: Integer;
iFileLength: Integer;
iBytesRead: Integer;
Buffer: PChar;
i: Integer
begin
if OpenDialog1.Execute then
begin
try
iFileHandle := FileOpen(OpenDialog1.FileName, fmOpenRead);
iFileLength := FileSeek(iFileHandle,0,2);
FileSeek(iFileHandle,0,0);
Buffer := PChar(AllocMem(iFileLength + 1));
iBytesRead := FileRead(iFileHandle, Buffer^, iFileLength);
FileClose(iFileHandle);
for i := 0 to iBytesRead-1 do
begin
StringGrid1.RowCount := StringGrid1.RowCount + 1;
StringGrid1.Cells[1,i+1] := Buffer[i];
StringGrid1.Cells[2,i+1] := IntToStr(Integer(Buffer[i]));
end;
finally
FreeMem(Buffer);
end;
end;
end;
he following example uses a button, a string grid, and a Save dialog box on a form. When the button is clicked, the user is prompted for a filename. When the user clicks OK, the contents of the string grid are written to the specified file. Additional information is also written to the file so that it can be read easily with the FileRead function.
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
BackupName: string;
FileHandle: Integer;
StringLen: Integer;
X: Integer;
Y: Integer;

if SaveDialog1.Execute then

BackupName := ExtractFileName(SaveDialog1.FileName);
BackupName := ChangeFileExt(BackupName, '.BAK');
if not RenameFile(SaveDialog1.FileName, BackupName) then
raise Exception.Create('Unable to create backup file.');
end;
FileHandle := FileCreate(SaveDialog1.FileName);
{ Write out the number of rows and columns in the grid. }
FileWrite(FileHandle,
StringGrid1.ColCount, SizeOf(StringGrid1.ColCount));
FileWrite(FileHandle,
StringGrid1.RowCount, SizeOf(StringGrid1.RowCount));
for X := 0 to StringGrid1.ColCount ?1 do
begin
for Y := 0 to StringGrid1.RowCount ?1 do
begin
{ Write out the length of each string, followed by the string itself. }
StringLen := Length(StringGrid1.Cells[X,Y]);
FileWrite(FileHandle, StringLen, SizeOf(StringLen));
FileWrite(FileHandle,
StringGrid1.Cells[X,Y], Length(StringGrid1.Cells[X,Y]);
