Procedure Write ([Var F : Any filetype;] V1 [; V2; ... , Vn)];
Description:
Write writes the contents of the variables V1, V2 etc. to the file F. F can be a typed file,
or a Text file. If F is a typed file, then the variables V1, V2 etc. must be of the same type
as the type in the declaration of F. Untyped files are not allowed. If the parameter F is
omitted, standard output is assumed. If F is of type Text, then the necessary conversions
are done such that the output of the variables is in human-readable format. This conversion
is done for all numerical types. Strings are printed exactly as they are in memory, as
well as PChar types. The format of the numerical conversions can be influenced through
the following modifiers: OutputVariable : NumChars [: Decimals ] This will print the
value of OutputVariable with a minimum of NumChars characters, from which Decimals
are reserved for the decimals. If the number cannot be represented with NumChars characters,
NumChars will be increased, until the representation fits. If the representation requires less
than NumChars characters then the output is filled up with spaces, to the left of the generated
string, thus resulting in a right-aligned representation. If no formatting is specified, then the
number is written using its natural length, with nothing in front of it if it’s positive, and a
minus sign if it’s negative. Real numbers are, by default, written in scientific notation.
Errors:
If an error occurs, a run-time error is generated. This behavior can be controlled with the
{$i} switch.
