LoadByteArray and others fail if null

| Im not sure this is a bug, but shouldnt SaveString / LoadByteArray and SaveByteArray check if the stream is Null before trying to access it? In case it was unabe to open the stream for reading/writing. |

| Possibly but it's easy to check yourself and you can override (is that the right term?) or extend the function in your own module. |

| Hi, These functions will throw an exception if they fail, which you can trap with Try/Catch. Changing them to check for a null stream means they would still have to do something to indicate an error - but what? For example, how would you indicate that LoadByteArray failed? Returning an empty array wouldn't work as this could also be a successful result. You could change to a 'Var' parameter setup, but that gets pretty ugly. Best move really is to make sure files exist before reading them. |
