(write-line string [file-descriptor])


Write that string to a file.


This function is more practical and efficient to use than the write-char function. Anything can be written into a file, since the format is a string. The file is specified by the file-descriptor, assigned by the open function. When the file-descriptor is left out, the string is written to the command line and Prompt History window.

Examples

Code Returns Prints to File
(setq fil (open "sample.lsp" "w"))    
(write-line "Name:" fil) "Name:" Name:
(write-line "Address:" fil) "Address:" Address:

Tell me about...

(read-line [file-descriptor])

(setq symbol1 statement1 [symbol2 statement2] ...)
