How to append string to file without new line break using storage laravel?

Question

trying to add strings in a file on the same line using Storage:: disk('local')->append() method but in the output file I'm getting each string on a new line

what i did is:

$string = "first-"; 
Storage::disk('local')->append('filename', $string);
$string = "second"; 
Storage::disk('local')->append('filename', $string);

and the output file was

first-
second

but I'm trying to get the file without line breaks like

first-second

Not sure if there's a built-in method to do that, but you could try a longer approach, get the contents of the file, like $contents = file_get_contents(...), append in PHP, via $contents .= 'second';, then put the whole string into the file. (or something similar) — Tim Lewis

the file will be a big file and don't want to open it and loaded in the memory — Fadi

Yeah, fair point. You can see all the methods available for the FileSystem class (extension of Storage::disk() facade method) here: laravel.com/api/5.8/Illuminate/Contracts/Filesystem/…. At a glance, I don't see anything, but do some digging, might find something that works. — Tim Lewis

after testing, i ended up using the php "file_put_contents" function, it's doing the job and without filling the memory — Fadi

append() using FilesystemAdapter

public function append($path, $data, $separator = PHP_EOL)

PHP_EOL is ostensibly used to find the newline character in a cross-platform-compatible way.

So, you can use :

Storage::disk('local')->append('filename', $string, null);
