If the file does not exist, the file type is "????". Type Boolean; read-only. File write() method File(path).write(text, ...) Description The File write() method writes a given string to the file. The parameters of this function are concatenated to a single string. Returns true on success. For encoded files, writing a single Unicode character may result in multiple bytes being written. Take care not to write to a file that is open in another application or object. This may cause loss of data, since a second write issued from another File object may overwrite existing data. Parameters text A string or set of strings. All arguments are concatenated to form the string to be written. Returns Boolean. File writeln() method File(path).writeln(text, ...)
