How to get plot style names from STB file?

<< < (2/2)

Lee Mac:
Glad you got it sorted Roy  :-)

roy_043:
Well, not all sorted of course. My code still has to parse the text file. This very doable, but I will leave that for now.

One "burning" question remains:
Can you actually write a binary file using Lisp?
(LM:WriteBinaryStream) seems to require a variant of the type 8209 which I was unable to create. MP's (_WriteStream) will work. But if the "ascii-index-list" contains a zero value, that value and everything after will be skipped (see my second post).

To directly answer your question: you can write a binary stream using LISP by interfacing with the ADODB.Stream Object (as per my LM:WriteBinaryStream function), however, to do so requires that you do not convert to a list the Variant returned by a similar function used to read a binary stream, as this variant cannot be created using LISP (as you have already discovered).

Lee, thank you for that clarification.

You're very welcome, though unfortunately it doesn't help you toward a solution  :-(
