The /bwrite command can be used to write a specified amount of bytes from the string/buffer to a given file starting at the start_pos position.
Note: the starting position is 0, not 1.
Synopsis
/bwrite -act <filename> <start_pos> [length] <text|%var|&binvar>
Switches
- -t - Treats everything as plain text (i.e. binary variables are not evaluated)
- -c - Chops the file at the end of the written data (if your current binvar is 10 bytes and you write 3 bytes at position 3, the resulting binvar is 6 in lenght)
- -a - Disables UTF-8 encoding of characters in the range 0-255, as long as the line contains no characters > 255
Parameters
- <filename> - the file name to be modified
- <start_pos> - the position in the file to start writing at, starts a 0
- [length] - Length of the data to be written
- <text|%var|&binvar> - data to be written to the file
Example
;Write some text to a file at beginning of the file /bwrite file.txt 0 hello there! ;Replace "there!" with "world!" /bwrite file.txt 6 world!
