Hi all......

How do I write a file from JavaScript?

Thanks & Regards

Hi all....

Writing a file from JavaScript is just as easy as writing a file from a Java applet. Your script cannot write files itself; it should call a Java applet's public method which will actually do all the dirty file writing work for you.

The bad news is that

1. Writing is a privileged operation, and therefore your Java applet must be digitally signed in order to write files.
2. Applet signing for Internet Explorer is completely different from applet signing for Netscape Navigator.
3. Signed applets may not work properly in Netscape Navigator 3.
4. What's the worst, it's very insecure to put privileged operations in public methods of signed applets! If you publsh such an applet, a malicious code could easily subvert the applet's public methods, and you (the applet publisher/signer) will be sued for any damage!

Therefore, nobody publishes scripts that write files via signed applets, although in versions 4 of both major browsers it's technically possible.

Thanks.....

function WriteToFile() {
try {
var fso, s;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
s = fso.CreateFolder("C:\\test.txt", true);
s.writeline("This is a test");
s.Close();
}
catch(err){
var strErr = 'Error:';
strErr += '\nNumber:' + err.number;
strErr += '\nDescription:' + err.description;
document.write(strErr);
}

hi GDevakii,
i tryed your code but i got the error "ActiveXObject is not defined";
how to solve this?

function WriteToFile(sText)
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var FileObject = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\\LogFile.txt", 8, true,0); // 8=append, true=create if not exist, 0 = ASCII
FileObject.write(sText)
FileObject.close()
}
