MEM file issue

[Paramvir]

Hello

It looks .MEM file cannot store the full variable name if it exceeds 10 characters. It truncates the remaining characters and keeps only the first 10 characters. Any solution or workaround will be helpful.

Thank you all

Search BEGIN INI in samples

if !File("Config.ini")
Begin ini file ("Config.ini")
Set Section "CONFIGURATIONS" ENTRY "Port" To c_Port
Set Section "CONFIGURATIONS" ENTRY "Path" To c_Path
End ini
else
Begin ini file ("Config.ini")
Get c_Port Section "CONFIGURATIONS" ENTRY "Port"
Get c_Path Section "CONFIGURATIONS" ENTRY "Path"
End Ini
endif

Hello Paramvir,

Please be so kind to use the following Harbour native commands

#command RESTORE HBV [FROM <(f)>] [<a:ADDITIVE>]
#command SAVE HBV TO <(f)> ALL LIKE <p>
#command SAVE HBV ALL LIKE <p> TO <(f)>
#command SAVE HBV ALL EXCEPT <p> TO <(f)>
#command SAVE HBV TO <(f)> ALL EXCEPT <p>
#command SAVE HBV [TO <(f)>] [ALL]

and save your variables to .hbv file.

This file format supports long variable names and much larger amount of data then Clipper compatible .mem files.

Thank you Gfilatov. This is what I was looking for. Great! Thank you once again.

Hi Gregory
Thanks for the code.
As Serge pointed => seems to be missing.
Can you provide some working example ?

hi,

found in c:\hmg.3.4.4\HARBOUR\include\std.ch

Code: Select all

#command RESTORE HBV [FROM <(f)>] [<a:ADDITIVE>] => hb_mvRestore( <(f)>, <.a.> )
#command SAVE HBV TO <(f)> ALL LIKE <p>    => hb_mvSave( <(f)>, <(p)>, .t. )
#command SAVE HBV ALL LIKE <p> TO <(f)>    => hb_mvSave( <(f)>, <(p)>, .t. )
#command SAVE HBV ALL EXCEPT <p> TO <(f)>  => hb_mvSave( <(f)>, <(p)>, .f. )
#command SAVE HBV TO <(f)> ALL EXCEPT <p>  => hb_mvSave( <(f)>, <(p)>, .f. )
#command SAVE HBV [TO <(f)>] [ALL]         => hb_mvSave( <(f)>, "*", .t. )  

you will find hb_mvRestore() and hb_mvSave() in c:\hmg.3.4.4\0\MEMVAR\testmemvar.prg

I was wonder if HBV is able to store arrays. But, after tests, I think not

hi,

have you try HB_Serialize(aArray) before hb_mvSave()

[RPC]

you will find hb_mvRestore() and hb_mvSave() in c:\hmg.3.4.4\0\MEMVAR\testmemvar.prg

Hi Jimmy
I could not locate testmemvar.prg in my HMG or Harbour folder.
Can you please upload it
Thanks
