FileIsLineEnding

Defines the line end in a text file in the process of reading.

bool  FileIsLineEnding(
   int  file_handle      // File handle
   );

Parameters

file_handle

[in]  File descriptor returned by FileOpen().

Return Value

Returns true if in the process of reading txt or csv-file reached the end of the line (the characters CR-LF).

Example (the file obtained during the execution of an example for FileWriteString function is used here)
