Write text to file (2 ways)

SyncJS provides two functions to write text to a file:

function AppendTextToFile(filename: string, text: string): boolean;
function WriteTextToFile(filename: string, text: string): boolean;

Both functions write text to a file and return true if the operation is successful, or false otherwise. If the file does not exist, it will be created automatically.

• AppendTextToFile appends the text at the end of the file (if it exists).
• WriteTextToFile overwrites the file with the specified text, erasing any existing content.

Both functions support escaped strings. For example, to write a sentence followed by a newline, use \n in the text. String escaping follows this convention.

Parameter	Type	Requirement	Explanation
filename	string	required	Path to the file you wish to write to
text	string	required	The text string to write to the file

Return value	Explanation
true	The text was written to the file
false	The operation failed; the file was not written or modified

Example: Append text

var result = AppendTextToFile('/home/user/docs/somefile.txt', 'Hello world!\n');
if (result) {
  Log('Text appended successfully.');
} else {
  Log('Append failed.');
}

Example: Overwrite text

var result = WriteTextToFile('/home/user/docs/somefile.txt', 'Hello world!\n');
if (result) {
  Log('Text written successfully.');
} else {
  Log('Write failed.');
}
