pc:AppendFile

note

This article is about the pc:AppendFile Blend directive.

pc:AppendFile

Opens a text file and writes text to it. If the file already exists, the input is appended.

Syntax 1

<pc:AppendFile filepath="*file-path*" disable-output-escaping="*disable*">

*content*

</pc:AppendFile>

*disable*  ::=  { yes | no }

Syntax 2

<pc:AppendFile filepath="*file-path*" select="*xpath >> text-literal*" disable-output-escaping="*disable*" />

*disable*  ::=  { yes | no }

The required filepath points to the location where the file must be written.

The text to be written must be expressed either as content (Syntax 1) or in a select attribute (Syntax 2).

If you set disable to "yes", special XML characters in the output will not be escaped. See Example 2 in the pc:WriteFile help topic.

Example

Information about a data import operation is written to a logfile.

<root xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:pc="Processing.Command" xmlns:assign="Processing.Command.Assign">
<pc:terminate test="not(wrights:HasAdminRole())" msg="{concat('Admin role is required. Available roles:', wrights:Roles())}"/>

  <pc:assign-string workingdir="{directories:Get()}" />
  <pc:assign-string traveldata="{path:Combine($workingdir, 'TRAVEL.xml')}"/>

  <pc:RunRulesService waittime="10000"
