Create a File

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:58:50 GMT

At the end of a reload I need to create a file with a timestamp in it that shows when the script finished. So I'm thinking I should just be able to create a variable and then store that variables value in a file. Sounds so simple but I am stuck.

Thanks,

Stephen

You can execute any command in the script, so you could do it like this:

Execute cmd.exe /C dir > test.txt

to create a test.txt file with the directory's file list as content.

If you don't want to execute a command, you could use STORE command, to e.g. store a small or empty table.
