Arguments fileURL, text, {mode} • The fileURL argument, which is expressed as a file:// URL, is the file to which you are writing. • The text argument is the string to be written. • The mode argument, if it is supplied, must be "append". If this argument is omitted, the contents of the file are overwritten by the string. Returns A Boolean value: true if the string is successfully written to the file; false otherwise.

It then tries to append the string "aaa" to the file and displays a second alert if the write succeeds. After executing this script, the mydata.txt file contains the text xxxaaa and nothing else. var fileURL = "file:///c|/temp/mydata.txt"; if (DWfile.write(fileURL, "xxx")){ alert("Wrote xxx to " + fileURL); } if (DWfile.write(fileURL, "aaa", "append")){ alert("Appended aaa to " + fileURL); }
