how to write text to file using JavaScript

[digitalenigma00]

wow that was easy and will be very useful, thanks for a quick and dirty intro into the filesystemobject got any crash courses on rendoring the data back into a file?

Internet Explorer will run this code (most browsers can be set to allow javascript to run) though you are correct in stating it can be run outside of a browser. But the use of ActiveX objects restricts it to the Windows operating system.

Line 1 creates the variables.

Line 2 creates a file system object

(the user will receive a warning message and be required to authorize the ActiveXObject)

Line 3 invokes a method in the file system object "CreateTextFile") - this actually creates the test file, "a.txt"

Line 4 writes the letter A and a newline character into the just-created file, using the object's WriteLine() method.

Line 5 closes the file using the object's close() method.

This only works in Internet Explorer on Windows.
