Hey
i have been trying all day to write messages to a text file. But the writefile doesnt seem to work at all. the file is always blank when i open it. i tried writing to a csv file but that did not work either.
Am i missing some steps??
1)
_writeToFile("Test passed without errors","C:\Users\hishamn\sahi\userdata\scripts\TestLog.txt");
2)
var $Result= [
["Test", "Passed"],
["without", "errors"] ];


_writeToFile($Result,"C:\Users\hishamn\sahi\userdata\scripts\TestResults.csv", overwrite);

    * _writeCSVFile($Result,"C:\Users\hishamn\sahi\userdata\scripts\TestResults.csv");

    Hi hishamn,

    The code should be:
    var $ar = new Array();
$ar[0] = ["hi", "there", "one"];
$ar[1] = ["hey", "he" , "she"];
_writeCSVFile($ar, "D:/sample.csv", true, ",");

    Let me know if this solves your issue.

    Regards
    Sumitra

    I'm sorry but i this did not seem to make a difference. The file was still blank when i opened it. Nothing was written.

    Hi Hishamn,

    Your way of declaring the data is correct, and so is Sumitra's. They are just different ways of doing the same thing.

    I guess your problem is with the slashes in the file path. Change them to forward slashes, or use double back slashes and check.

    C:/Users/hishamn/sahi/userdata/scripts/TestResults.csv
    or
    C:\\Users\\hishamn\\sahi\\userdata\\scripts\\TestResults.csv

    Regards,
    Narayan
