Save a String Reader context to a file.

Syntax

void MstrSave(
AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR FileName, //in
AIL_ID ContextId, //in
AIL_INT64 ControlFlag //in
)

Description

This function saves all the information about the previously allocated String Reader context to disk, including all of the individual font and string settings. This information can be reloaded, using MstrRestore or MstrStream.

Note: When you save the String Reader context, the preprocessing changes are not saved. Upon restoration, you must preprocess the context again.

Parameters

FileName (in, AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR)

Specifies the name and path of the file in which to save the String Reader context. It is recommended that you use the MSR file extension for easier use with other Aurora Imaging Library software products. The function internally handles the opening and closing of this file. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten.

For specifying the file name and path

ValueDescription
M_INTERACTIVEOpens the File Save As dialog box from which you can interactively specify the drive, directory, and name of the file.
"FileName"Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile"). Typically, String Reader context files have an MSR extension.

To specify a file on a remote computer (under Distributed Aurora Imaging Library), prefix the specified file name string with "remote:///" (for example, "remote:///C:\mydirectory\myfile"). |

ContextId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the String Reader context to save.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.
