Append a text file with expressions.
I got a hard one for you.
I know that with the expression
$.evalFile (myPath);
You can read a text file, but is there a way to append an existing text file on your computer or to create a new text file ?
I have a text file called data.txt which I read the variables with the values in the file. If I want to do some calculations in one of my composition and store the result in a text file, either this one or another one so I can latter call the results.
Can this be done? Basically I am asking if there is a write or print command for an external text file.

There’s no way to write or save data with an expression.

Thank you
One more questions, can you read data from a MS Access database with expressions and if so, what would the code be.

The only way an expression can read an external file is with the $.evalFile() hack, which means that the contents of the file has to be text formatted as valid JavaScript. I don’t know the file format of MS Access, but I’m guessing it’s not likely that it would work.
