Export text file from ECMAScript routine

[garciadelcastillo]

Hi there!

Question: is the possibility of writing a plain text file to the system with the ECMAScript API for a custom CLI script?

Scenario: say I am writing a processing tool to perform a batch geometry operations on a set of files. I want to be able to save the modified file, which is straightforward through the documentInterface.exportFile() function. However, I want to generate an additional .log file with the same name, with a breakdown of the modifications on that file. How can that additional, plain text file be written to disk? Since it looks like the ECMAScript interface is not implemented with Node.js, none of its file system APIs are present...

Thanks a lot!

You can use the extensive Qt API. Have a look at:

Ooooh, I see... So the full Qt API has an ECMAScript mirror...? That is sooo interesting...

Wonderful, thank you Andrew!
