| 02:55 | <@Chalcedon> | how would I get a file writer to append rows rather than overwrite what's existing in the file (its a csv) |
| 02:57 | <@Mahal> | there's usually an append flag |
| 02:58 | < Vornicus> | the second parameter to the file open command should have "a" in it |
| 02:59 | <@Chalcedon> | ah ha |
| 02:59 | <@Chalcedon> | I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but couldn't find it |
| 02:59 | <@Chalcedon> | thanks :) |
| 03:04 | <@Chalcedon> | doesn't appear to be working |
| 03:04 | | * Chalcedon frown |
| 03:07 | <@Chalcedon> | it /is/ working, I just have something in the wrong place |
| 03:10 | < Vornicus> | heh |
| 03:42 | <@Chalcedon> | ok... why aren't you working... |
| 03:42 | <@Chalcedon> | this time it /is/ overwriting. |

| 03:44 | <@Chalcedon> | hello Reivy |
| 03:44 | <@Chalcedon> | thats really weird |
| 03:44 | <@Chalcedon> | it appears to be fussy about where the 'a' goes. |
| 03:44 | <@Chalcedon> | I have w and b in there as well. |
| 03:45 | <@Chalcedon> | if I put the a first, it skips the top line and puts everything on double spacing. If I put a in the middle all the lines are there but it's in double spacing. And if I put a on the end spacing is normal but I'm missing the top line... |
| 03:46 | < Vornicus> | the w doesn't belong if you're using a. |
| 03:46 | <@Chalcedon> | aaaaah |
| 03:46 | | * Chalcedon doh |
| 03:46 | < Vornicus> | you need to have exactly one of {a w b} in there. |
| 03:46 | | * Chalcedon hrm |
| 03:46 | < Vornicus> | oops |
| 03:46 | < Vornicus> | {a w r} |
| 03:46 | <@Chalcedon> | I thought you could have both w and r? |
| 03:47 | < Vornicus> | ...you might, actually |
| 03:47 | <@Chalcedon> | to read and write |
| 03:47 | | * Chalcedon grin |
| 03:47 | <@Chalcedon> | it now works perfectly thank you :) |
| 03:49 | | * Chalcedon yays |
| 03:51 | < Vornicus> | But you rarely see it used that way. |
| 03:51 | <@Chalcedon> | ok |
| 03:51 | | * Chalcedon will keep this in mind |
| 04:15 | <@ToxicFrog> | Vornicus: why not? |
| 04:15 | <@ToxicFrog> | "rw" is more readable than "r+" |
| 04:16 | | * Chalcedon gives everyone 4x2s and invites them to help her beat PRESENCE |
| 04:16 | | * Vornicus points out that he has never, ever, seen either rw or r+ in anything other than a reference manual. |
| 04:16 | <@ToxicFrog> | I've used r+. |
| 04:16 | <@ToxicFrog> | Although not a+ or w+ |
| 04:17 | <@ToxicFrog> | And the answer appears to be 'because "rw" is not actually a valid mode" |
| 04:17 | <@ToxicFrog> | Valid modes are (r|w|a)\+?b? |

| 20:03 | < Vornicus> | gnar. Okay, this is a new one. |
| 20:03 | < Vornicus> | SOmetimes, a file has logs in it, and the logs are demarcated by --------- --------- -------- at the end. |
| 20:04 | < Vornicus> | And I need to get the stuff after the logs. THis I've already got. |
| 20:04 | < Vornicus> | Sometimes, however, a file has /no/ logs, and there are no dashes. |

| 20:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | And thus you need to get everything in the file. |
| 20:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | Herm. |
| 20:05 | < Vornicus> | Right. |
| 20:06 | < Vornicus> | can I drop a return code from another program into awk? |
| 20:07 | < Vornicus> | ...er, wait, I have it now. One moment... |
