\section{\class{wxTextFile}}\label{wxtextfile}
The wxTextFile is a simple class which allows to work with text files on line by
line basis. It also understands the differences in line termination characters
under different platforms and will not do anything bad to files with "non
native" line termination sequences - in fact, it can be also used to modify the
-text files and chaneg the line termination characters from one type (say DOS) to
+text files and change the line termination characters from one type (say DOS) to
another (say Unix).
One word of warning: the class is not at all optimized for big files and so it
which are well handled by wxTextFile.
The typical things you may do with wxTextFile in order are:
+
\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item Create and open it: this is done with \helpref{Open}{wxtextfileopen}
function which opens the file (name may be specified either as Open argument or
in the constructor), reads its contents in memory and closes it. If all of these
operations are successful, Open() will return TRUE and FALSE on error.
\item Work with the lines in the file: this may be done either with "direct
-access" functions like \helpref{GetLineCount}{wxtextfilegetlinecount} and
+access" functions like \helpref{GetLineCount}{wxtextfilegetlinecount} and
\helpref{GetLine}{wxtextfilegetline} ({\it operator[]} does exactly the same
but looks more like array addressing) or with "sequential access" functions
which include \helpref{GetFirstLine}{wxtextfilegetfirstline}/
\helpref{GetNextLine}{wxtextfilegetnextline} and also
-\helpref{GetLastLine}{getlastline}/\helpref{GetPrevLine}{wxtextfilegetprevline}.
+\helpref{GetLastLine}{wxtextfilegetlastline}/\helpref{GetPrevLine}{wxtextfilegetprevline}.
For the sequential access functions the current line number is maintained: it is
returned by \helpref{GetCurrentLine}{wxtextfilegetcurrentline} and may be
changed with \helpref{GoToLine}{wxtextfilegotoline}.
\item Add/remove lines to the file: \helpref{AddLine}{wxtextfileaddline} and
\helpref{InsertLine}{wxtextfileinsertline} add new lines while
\helpref{RemoveLine}{wxtextfileremoveline} deletes the existing ones.
-\item Save your changes: notice that the changes you do to the file will {\bf
-not} be saved automatically, calling \helpref{Close}{wxtextfileclose} or doing
-nothing discards them! To save the chanegs you must explicitly call
+\item Save your changes: notice that the changes you make to the file will {\bf
+not} be saved automatically; calling \helpref{Close}{wxtextfileclose} or doing
+nothing discards them! To save the changes you must explicitly call
\helpref{Write}{wxtextfilewrite} - here, you may also change the line
termination type if you wish.

The following constants identify the line termination type:
wxTextFileType_Unix, // line is terminated with 'LF' = 0xA = 10 = '\n'
wxTextFileType_Dos, // 'CR' 'LF'
wxTextFileType_Mac // 'CR' = 0xD = 13 = '\r'

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}
\membersection{wxTextFile::wxTextFile}\label{wxtextfilectordef}
+
\constfunc{}{wxTextFile}{\void}
Default constructor, use Open(string) to initialize the object.
\membersection{wxTextFile::wxTextFile}\label{wxtextfilector}
+
\constfunc{}{wxTextFile}{\param{const wxString\& }{strFile}}
Constructor does not load the file into memory, use Open() to do it.
\membersection{wxTextFile::Exists}\label{wxtextfileexists}
+
\constfunc{bool}{Exists}{\void}
Return TRUE if file exists - the name of the file should have been specified
in the constructor before calling Exists().
\membersection{wxTextFile::Open}\label{wxtextfileopen}
+
\constfunc{bool}{Open}{\void}
Open() opens the file with the name which was given in the \helpref{constructor}{wxtextfilector}
and also loads file in memory on success.
\membersection{wxTextFile::Open}\label{wxtextfileopenname}
+
\constfunc{bool}{Open}{\param{const wxString\& }{strFile}}
Same as \helpref{Open()}{wxtextfileopen} but allows to specify the file name
(must be used if the default constructor was used to create the object).
\membersection{wxTextFile::Close}\label{wxtextfileclose}
+
\constfunc{bool}{Close}{\void}
Closes the file and frees memory, {\bf losing all changes}. Use \helpref{Write()}{wxtextfilewrite}
if you want to save them.
\membersection{wxTextFile::IsOpened}\label{wxtextfileisopened}
+
\constfunc{bool}{IsOpened}{\void}
Returns TRUE if the file is currently opened.
\membersection{wxTextFile::GetLineCount}\label{wxtextfilegetlinecount}
+
\constfunc{size\_t}{GetLineCount}{\void}
Get the number of lines in the file.
\membersection{wxTextFile::GetLine}\label{wxtextfilegetline}
+
\constfunc{wxString\&}{GetLine}{\param{size\_t }{n}}
Retrieves the line number {\it n} from the file. The returned line may be
modified but you shouldn't add line terminator at the end - this will be done
by wxTextFile.
-\membersection{wxTextFile::operator[]}\label{wxtextfileoperator[]}
+\membersection{wxTextFile::operator[]}\label{wxtextfileoperatorarray}
+
\constfunc{wxString\&}{operator[]}{\param{size\_t }{n}}
The same as \helpref{GetLine}{wxtextfilegetline}.
\membersection{wxTextFile::GetCurrentLine}\label{wxtextfilegetcurrentline}
+
\constfunc{size\_t}{GetCurrentLine}{\void}
Returns the current line: it has meaning only when you're using
GoToLine().
\membersection{wxTextFile::GoToLine}\label{wxtextfilegotoline}
+
\constfunc{void}{GoToLine}{\param{size\_t }{n}}
Changes the value returned by \helpref{GetCurrentLine}{wxtextfilegetcurrentline}
