TextFile :: linePosition - Positions the write cursor within the current line
The position passed in iLinePosition is interpreted relatively 1. If the new position is located after the current write cursor position. Blanks are filled in up to the new position passed in iLinePosition. When passing a value greater than 0 in the iForward parameter, the function ensures, that at least iForward characters are skipped, even though this might exceed the requested position. The new position will never become less than the current position.
The function throws an exception, when iLinePosition is less than 1, when the access mode is not Update or Write or when processing mode is not FormattedProcessing.
Implementation overview
- Set line position
TextFile :: linePosition ( iLinePosition ) - Set line position with minimum distance to the last line position
