BUG DESCRIPTION:
----------------
Hello,
I am so disapointed to learn the futre disaspperance of WFILE_f component for a lot of reasons (Scilab 6.0.0 branch)
1 - Actually, WRITEC_f doen’t replace WFILE_f. It seems impossible to obtain an ASCII file with the proposed format in that box or I don’t know how to do with informations contain in the help dialog.
This brings a serious problem of upward compatibility. ASCII files from scilab are analyzed with external softwares, and so need reconsideration of these software witch is not raisonable if WRITEC_f supports only binairy format.
2 – Replacing WFILE_f by WRITEC_f component asks to re-edit old schemas. That’s not an easy way when branches are numerous.
3 - WRITEC_f doesn’t record time. Even if a solution is given in the help, we keep to be aware that all old shemas must ber re-edit. Adding a clock in not always easy in heavy schemas and probably a waste of time, so same problem as 2).
My opinion would be to maintain the WFILE_f component in palette and in future releases.
So how to record ASCII or cfv files (Excel) with this new feature ?
See attached file.
