EDPOS thePos; /* Stopping offset position. */
TEXT *theStr; /* Where to put the text. */
Example
The following example takes a file name as a parameter and returns the first 16 bytes of the file.
Visual FoxPro Code
SET LIBRARY TO EDGETSTR
? EDGETSTR("x") && returns the first 16 characters of file "x"
C Code
#include <pro_ext.h>
FAR Example(ParamBlk FAR *parm)
{
WHANDLE wh;
char FAR *buffer;
char FAR *pFileName;
if (!_SetHandSize(parm->p[0].val.ev_handle,
parm->p[0].val.ev_length+1))
{
_Error(182); // "Insufficient memory"
}
_HLock(parm->p[0].val.ev_handle);
pFileName = _HandToPtr(parm->p[0].val.ev_handle);
pFileName[parm->p[0].val.ev_length] = '\0';
wh = _EdOpenFile(pFileName, FO_READONLY);
_HUnLock(parm->p[0].val.ev_handle);
if ((buffer = _Alloca(17)) == 0) {
_Error(182); // "Insufficient memory"
}
_EdGetStr(wh, 0, 15, buffer);
buffer[16] = '\0';
_RetChar(buffer);
}
