Function Signature

 Variant Ext.WriteTextFile( fileName, contents )

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
fileName	string	Specifies a fully-qualified path and file name. The `fileName` can be any valid file path, including a path to a network device. Note: This function may fail due to permissions settings. Verify that accounts that will execute the script have permission to write to the destination file.
contents	Variant	The value to be written to the file.

Return

Type	Description
Variant	Returns the string parameter "contents".

Technical Details

SBM ModScript version: 11.3.

Notes

The file is opened, written, and closed; if it doesn't exist, it is created first. Concurrent scripts cannot access the file for reading or writing until this write operation finishes. To append to a file's contents rather than overwrite them, refer to Ext.AppendTextFile().
