Hi all, I'm collecting Network parameters in my app using the MobInfo Library. When i write them to file, I'm having boxes and "/" written in the place of actual data... I think that the error is due to the Unicode convertion... For example, the CellID value is a TUInt which displays correctly on the screen, but in the file, i get the data as [. Signal Strength is TInt but the value i get is Do enlighten me on this!!!! The Cruise is on... |
Maybe the contents are actually correct unicode but you are viewing the file using notepad or similar.

To me it looks a bit like you have written the value directly to file without converting it to a string first.

I'm collecting the CellId and SignalStrength values into two variables cellid and SignalStrength... and i'm adding them to a buffer...
//other code
fileWriteBuf.Append(cellid().iCellId);
//other code
fileWriteBuf.Append(SignalStrength);
//some more other code...
iFile.Write(fileWriteBuf, iStatus);
iFile.Flush();
Is this wrong???

Its as alh says, you are writing binary data but viewing it with applications expecting text. If you want to be able to read the contents in a way that is intelligible to a human you have to convert it.
If you are just checking the contents of the file to see if they are correct you need a viewer which isn't expecting text date.

The problem is i'm having the other values like IMEI, IMSI, MCC written whereas i'm having these two values not being written...

>>Signal Strength is TInt
and imei is declared as a TInt or TUint also?
