Can not write to file

[tickler]

eSignal 7.2-544
Windows XP

This use to work, not working now. File is never opened.
Have tried different open options. Any suggestions?
---------------------------------
function preMain() {

var f = new File("test.txt");
f.open("w+");
if (!f.isOpen())
debugPrintln("Could not open file");
else {
debugPrint("File opened");
f.writeln("Test Line");
f.close();
}
}

function main() {}

tickler,

I ran the code you posted and the file was created with the Test Line string. I verified this in \eSignal\Formula Output\ folder and the EFS Output Window. Are you still having this problem? If so, what version of eSignal are you running?

Thanks for your reply. A phrase in your question made me realize what I was doing wrong. At some time, I have changed the EFS setting "Output" directory, and later deleted that directory.

The "Formula Output Root" directory must exist before the "f.isOpen" and the f.writeln" commands work.

Thanks
