Purpose: Write text data or numeric values to a disk file.
Format: FPRINT text string
Notes: text string is a combination of text enclosed within quotes and variables. To include an actual quote (“) in the output string substitute it with the (`) character. ASCII data is written sequentially for each subsequent FPRINT statement with each output line terminated with a new line character. The PRINT_FILE command must be executed prior to writing the first line of disk data. If the file specified by the PRINT_FILE statement already exist, then the FPRINT command appends data to that file.
Example:
# Assign data to 3 variables.
flt_value = 85.32
$textvar = "c:\fpimage\images\test-00.img"
int_value = 512
# Select a text disk
file named 'filedata.txt'.
print_file filedata.txt
# Write 3 consecutive
lines of ASCII data.
fprint flt_value
fprint $textvar
fprint int_value
exit
