text2file proc

Format

text2file(Text,File)

Args

• Text: text to be added to file
• File: file to be appended to

Returns

1 on success; 0 otherwise.

Appends text to a file. If the file does not exist, one will be created.

This can be useful when interacting with external applications that read output from a text file. For example, you might have an external program that mimics conversation:

mob/oracle/verb/tell(T as text)
  text2file(T,"oracle.in")
  shell("oracle < oracle.in > oracle.out")
  usr << file2text("oracle.out")
