fputs String Length - How do I get past 256 char. limit?

[lakehouse]

How do I get around the 256 character limit of "fputs".

I have data I need to put into a long, single row of a text file. I have concatinated data into long strings and I see there is a limit to how much can be written in one command. But I need to keep it in one single row for later exporting to Excel.

Since my data is concatinated from smaller strings, I could write to the row in several passes, then finalize the row with a CR/LF.

You can use fwrite instead of fputs. You will still hit the 256 character limitation for writing the data, but there will be no CR or LF at the end of each string, so you should be able to issue multiple fwrite commands and have it look OK in the end. You will just need to add an fwrite command to add a trailing CR and LF (`r`n) so that Excel recognizes the end of the line.
