All file IO in mel requires the use of fopen and fclose to
open and close files on the hard drive. We then use fprint to
format and write the data to the file.
Example 1 : using fprint
All asci file writing in mel uses fprint to write the data
to a file.
{
// construct the full path to a file
$filename = (`internalVar -userTmpDir` + "windowPrefs.mel");
// open the file for writing
$file = `fopen $filename "w"`;
// fprint takes two parameters, the file ID and a text string to printfprint$file ( "Hello!! how are you?" + "\n" );
fprint$file ( 100 + "\n" );
fprint$file ( 10.05 + "\n" );
// close the filefclose $file;
}
