Writing descriptor to file without length property

[toshaga]

Hi,

I am using SDK 3rd Edition MR and Carbide.c++. I need to write a string to file and I am working with the Hello World example. Unfortunately, when I put a descriptor in the output stream to the file, both the descriptor's data and lenght are written. Then the length property is interpreted as character which I do not need. How can I only write the string held by the descriptor? Here's the source:

// Create a file to write the text to
			RFs fsSession;
			User::LeaveIfError(fsSession.Connect());
			CleanupClosePushL( fsSession );
			_LIT(KText, "Text");

			TInt err = fsSession.MkDirAll(KFileName);
			if ( (KErrNone != err) && (KErrAlreadyExists != err) )
			{
				CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(1); //  fsSession
				return;
			}
	
			RFile file;
			err = file.Replace(fsSession, KFileName, EFileWrite );
			CleanupClosePushL( file );
			if ( KErrNone != err )
			{
				CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2); // file, fsSession
				return;
			}
				
			RFileWriteStream outputFileStream( file );
			CleanupClosePushL( outputFileStream );
			outputFileStream << KText;
		
			CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(3); // outputFileStream, file, fsSession

I'll appreciate any help!

Solved it One should always look first into the help of the SDK rather than internet... Here it is if anyone experiences the same problem.

		        RFs fsSession;
	                User::LeaveIfError(fsSession.Connect());
			CleanupClosePushL( fsSession );
			_LIT8(KText, "Text"); //note it is explicitely _LIT8 not _LIT


			TInt err = fsSession.MkDirAll(KFileName);
			if ( (KErrNone != err) && (KErrAlreadyExists != err) )
			{
				CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(1); //  fsSession
				return;
			}
	
			RFile file;
			err = file.Replace(fsSession, KFileName, EFileWrite );
			CleanupClosePushL( file );
			if ( KErrNone != err )
			{
				CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2); // file, fsSession
				return;
			}
				
			file.Write(KText); // Forget about streams, just write:)
	
			CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2); // outputFileStream, file, fsSession
