The data is then buffered before it's slowly written to the file.

Windows will then take that data and slowly write it to the file - however it will tell you to move on with your program before it even finishes writing. While the file is open you can always tell Windows to write new data to the file. Here are the 3 biggest problems that opening and closing a file repeadetly like this can cause: Opening and closing something doesn't have to happen fast nor does it have to happen that often.Īnd therefore it's made to last long - however once opened you can write a lot to a file in a fast way.Īnd when you close it all this will have been written to the file on the disk. A special piece of hardware that is heavily optimized and backed up and relevant for security. You might just think the closing an opening of a file is neglecteable - however that's not the case.

If you look at this you might see that a few actions are rather poorly optimized. It's stupid simple: you state a piece of text name a file to append it to and AHK will append the text or create a new file with that text. It is a command that lets you append simple text to simple text files. If you use AHK and had to write something to a file you might have used the FileAppend command. I hate to put this here but I know some people love to get triggered as soon as you use the word object - I just want to say that I will move or delete their posts and not waste any breath on them. A similar implementation in any other programming style can do exactly the same thing - however in AHK there currently only is an object build in. It's also a topic about the FileObject and how it fixes these problems. This topic is about actual practical problems in the FileAppennd command and how it should and shouldn't be used.

Functions/Commands or anything like that. This is not another boring and exhausting topic about programming styles.
