Arduino File.println()
Description
Prints data to a file on SD Card as human-readable ASCII text followed by a carriage return character (ASCII 13, or '\r') and a newline character (ASCII 10, or '\n').
File.println() is the same as File.print(), except for one thing: File.println() prints '\r' and '\n' character at the end while File.print() does not.
The File.println() function inherits from the Stream utility class.
Syntax
file.println(data)
file.println(data, format)
Parameter Values
- File: an instance of the File class that is returned by SD.open().
- data: the value to print. Allowed data types: any data type.
- format: (optional) specifies:
- The base (format) to be printed for integral data types (byte, char, int, long, short, unsigned char, unsigned int, unsigned long, word). The permitted values are:
- BIN: binary, or base 2
- OCT: octal, or base 8
- DEC: decimal, or base 10
- HEX: hexadecimal, or base 16
Return Values
- println() returns the number of bytes written to the file. Data type: size_t.
