Ah, yes, like a kid who picks up the binoculars fat-end first, I was looking at

and doing something with that info).
Hi folks
I have an app which needs to save some of its data into a log file. I have the
method set up already for creating and appending the log file. However, I'd

certain size. What is the best way to accomplish this?
That's correct behaviour. There is no such word as เหลือง in Thai. It's a
particle that always exists as an adjunct to something else. Although สี is a
word on its own, เหลือง is not. Even when Thais speakers say something like
รถเหลือง, this is colloquial speech. Technically, it's รถสีเหลือง.
