Write to txt file

[Arshiya T]

How do I write something to a text file (and create the file if not already created) using OpenRPA? Also, how do I "append" or "overwrite" while writing in that text file?

[Allan Zimmermann]

add an "invoke code" activity.
lets assume you have a variable called stringcontent with the content you want to write or append to the file, then

To overwrite a file use

System.IO.File.WriteAllText("c:\myfile.txt", stringcontent)

and to appened to an existing file

System.IO.File.AppendAllText("c:\myfile.txt", stringcontent)

To read more go here, and then expand the "methods" section in the side menu.
For instance here you will also find Exists, to check if a file exists. You can use this in the expression part of an If acitvity, or inside invoke code

System.IO.File.Exists("c:\myfile.txt")
