Just a quick note to add you can also use framework.system.filesystem
since Google
Desktop has implemented this object for you.
function XMLtoFile()
{
var fso, f;
ForWriting = 2;
fso = framework.system.filesystem;
f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\file.txt", ForWriting, true)
f.Write("xml data");
f.Close();
}
Also, check out this fabulous gadget for examples filesystem code
usage scenarios and lots of crazy XML manipulation:
