Write to file via engine script

edited November 2013 in Feature Requests
I've scripted SER to perform some non-link-building tasks for me, and was wondering if it would be possible to allow SER to write to a file in engine script. An example syntax could be:

write file=/accounts/%random-10000000-99999999%.txt=%whatever%\n%data%\n%iwant%

I currently email the data I need to myself via modify url and a perl script, but writing to files would be so much more convenient, and open the doors to many other possibilities for the already powerful engine script.

    Also, what's up with the formatting on the forum? I have to add in my own < br > tags

    next version has this syntax:

    write file="c:\temp\accounts.txt" "my data..."

    Fantastic! :D
    I should pre-empt myself and say that appending to a file would probably be useful in the future too, and maybe even delete file. But that will be more than enough for my needs - thanks!

    Have now had a chance to try using the new syntax, and it works perfectly. Awesome Sven!

    how and where it is possible to apply? any sample

    You would use it in one of your [STEP*] sections, probably the final one. Sample syntax is what sven posted above.

    I don't ask about SER, I ask about SEO :-)
