Function Description

bool StringToFile(string a, string b)

Store a string to a file for later reading

Parameters

Type Name Description
string a The file name.
string b The string to store in the file.

Returns

bool - Whether or not the function was successful in storing the string in the file.

Notes

  • Directory traversal doesn't seem to work. The characters '.', '/' and '\\' are ignored.
  • The file name cannot be blank, nor can it consist only of the ignored characters, else the function will do nothing and return false.
  • Only one string can be stored at a time, the file is overwritten to at every call.
  • The file ends with a NUL character.
  • The files are stored at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota_ugc\game\dota\ems
  • The function is used in conjunction with FileToString
