Hi.
I am scripting using javascript.
I want to open an output file to write to.
How???

Hi, there doesn't seem to be any way to do it in Javascript.  I have rewritten my code in vbscript.

Did you not look into the EA Script Library where you see JavaScript-CSV and in there an example showing writing to a file?

Code: [Select]

function CSVEExportInitialize( fileName /* : String */, columns /* : Array */,
exportColumnHeadings /* : boolean */ ) /* : void */
{
if ( !exportIsExporting )
{
// Switch into exporting mode
exportIsExporting = true;

// Setup file object and column array
var fsObject = new COMObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
exportFile = fsObject.CreateTextFile( fileName, true );
...

Many thanks.  Just after I translated everything into vbscript...

Oh dear, didn't seem like much work if it took less than a day. At least you now have two languages.
