Writefile append=false is BUG ?

[frank10]

I'm trying to write a file with WriteFile function without appending info, with append = false, but this doesn't work: I get always new info appended to file.

To test this, try:

Version.FadeIn(50).ConvertToYV12
WriteFile(last, "C:test.txt", "current_frame", append=false)

Is this a bug or am I making something wrong?

I couldn't reproduce it; for me it works as intended. Reinstall everything, fix the typos in your script and retry ;) .

Which avs version are you using? C:test.txt should be C:\test.txt.

Thank you for the answer, but to me it's a bug.

I make this:

I load the above script in VirtualDub 1.6.10, I scrub the Timeline on some frames and then I open the file test.txt that was written and I find a lot of lines with the frames I scrubbed instead of a single line with the last frame I scrubbed. This should be instead when you select append=false.

Edit: I haven't seen your answer before, Wilbert. But it doesn't change either C:test.txt or C:\test.txt. My version is 2.55

I'm sorry. I misunderstood the 'append' meaning:

I was thinking to have only the last variable written to the file, not that every time I load the script, the result was appended to the same file.

Sorry again. With this meaning it works.
