Writing to a text file 1

[shavenlunatic]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to javascript but gave generated a form which loads everything I require into variables ok. I just want to output these variables to a text file.

I expect (if possible) that appending to an existing text file would be easiest. But either appending or creating a new txt file would be fine.

It doesn't have to be very swanky, purely functional, as long as the data is dumped into the text file I don't care how it gets there or its format. I don't have access to any server side processing so it will purely have to be client based, also, the text file will be on a LAN (if that makes any odds, but thought it might be relevant as a drive could be mapped to the required location if needed)


Thanks in advance for any help

IE-based application, use scripting.filesystemobject with client-consent on unsafe activex component.

Html-application (hta) to by-pass security layer, if needed.

gone down the .hta route, thanks for the pointer

(looking into hta stuff, its a lot simpler than I originally thought)
