i have a 16-bit descriptor string (quite lengthy) that i need to write into a temporary file so that i can take small chunks of it at a time in a buffer and parse it. But i find the RFile takes only 8-bit descriptors. So, i was wondering how to go about it.

Do i use Streams?

RFileWriteStream writer;
writer.PushL();
User::LeaveIfError(writer.Replace(CCoeEnv::Static()->FsSession(),
                        KTempFilePath, EFileWrite));

writer << aData;  // aData 16-bit descriptor
writer.CommitL();
writer.Pop();
writer.Close();

The code leaves from there.

You should take a look at TFileText class... this allow to read/write 16 bit descriptors into a RFile.
