    - udpClose()
      Closes the connection to a UDP socket.
    - udpOpen()
      Opens a connection to a UDP socket.
    - udpRead()
      Reads the data from a UDP socket.
    - udpWrite()
      Writes data to the passed UDP socket (host).
    - uiConnect()
      The function allows you to connect to a specific event with a callback function and call this callback function in case the connected event is triggerd. This is a similar behavior to e.g. ControlA_D/dpConnect.html
    - uiConnectUserData()
      The function allows to connect to a specific event with a callback function and call this callback function in case the connected event is triggerd. This is a similar behavior to e.g. dpConnect(). Additionally to uiConnect() specific user data can be passed to the callback function.
    - uiDisconnect()
      The function allows to disconnect previously established connections of the functions uiConnect() and uiConnectUserData().
    - uniDynPatternMatch()
      Checks whether particular strings in a dynamic field have a specific pattern.
    - uniFPrintf()
      Writes to a file.
    - uniFPrintfPL()
      Writes to a file similar to uniFPrintf() except changes to the current WinCC OA language before converting.
    - uniFPrintfUL()
      Writes to a file similar to uniFPrintf() except changes to the current Windows user language before converting.
    - uniPatternMatch()
      Checks whether particular string have a specific pattern.
    - uniSPrintf()
      Formats a string.
    - uniSPrintfUL()

uniFPrintfPL()

Writes to a file similar to uniFPrintf() except changes to the current WinCC OA language before converting.

Synopsis

int uniFPrintfPL(file file, string format, [,<type1> var1 [,<type2> var2 ...]] );

Parameters


Parameter	Description
file	File to be written. Use the constants stdin, stdout, stderr (see Reference Tables).
format	output format
var1, var2, ...	arguments

Return value

In the event of errors, the function returns -1 or EOF otherwise, the number of written characters.

Errors

If incorrect data types are used or if a file is not open.

Description

Writes to a file similar to uniFPrintf() except changes to the current WinCC OA language before converting. For the format, see chapter uniFPrintf().

Example

The following example writes the Russian texts to two files.


const int STRING_COUNT = 2;
main()
{
  int i,j;
  file f, f1;
  dyn_string russianValue;
  russianValue =makeDynString("русский","буcква");
  DebugN("Russian letters:", russianValue);
  //Opens two files for writing and reading
  f=fopen("C:/TEMP/tfile.TXT","w+");
  f1=fopen("C:/TEMP/tfile2.TXT","w+");
  //writes string values to the text file
  for (i=1;i<= STRING_COUNT;i++) uniFPrintfPL(f,"%.5s\n",
  russianValue [i]); //Сut the string to a length of 5 letters
  for (j=1;j<= STRING_COUNT;j++) fprintf(f1,"%.5s\n",
  russianValue [j]);//The text is not correctly written since
  fprinft is used
  fclose(f);
  fclose(f1);
}
