You can use lists and save data by syncing them with files on hard drive

how to do this?

 

[rostonix]

Create a list
In its settings set path to file where you wanna save your data and check two checkboxes (save changes to files)

Then use action:

List processings - Write line

And that way you can write data to your txt file

 

[drvosjeca]

there is even third option... Use macros from version 3

 

[bogdann]

List processings - Write line

There is no write line in List processings

 

[bogdann]

no one?

 

[rostonix]

Add line

 

[lokiys]

{-File.AppendString-|-C:\zenno\accounts.txt-|-{-Profile.Login-}-|-true-}

C:\zenno\accounts.txt <=== change that part to your path

{-Profile.Login-} <=== change that to what you need to save

Add that to work with text and add to variable. (or something, i have russian version not sure translated right)...

Thats it... Will work 100% right

 

[bogdann]

worked like this:

 

[lokiys]

worked like this:
Посмотреть вложение 2113Посмотреть вложение 2114Посмотреть вложение 2115

It is enough with that... List - add line

Version 4.3.7.1 Write To File not working for me. Always a blank file.

Attach sample screenshot or template to check what exactly you do and why it's not working

 

[jimmybrown710]

Well I have already changed the template to use the workaround above.

This is what I was doing.

I am using the Files widget in a template to store data to a pre-existing text file.

The option selected is "Write Text"

The filepath is set to "{-Variable.RandomFileName-}" - Name and path of the file

The What To Write is set to "URL (Spintax Allowed):" - Text content written to file

Append File is checked

Add line break at the end is checked

The file is always empty at the end of the template run. The file is created but no data is saved to the file.

I am running Zenno MP v4.3.7.1

BTW how come no Create New File option in the Files widget?

 

[jimmybrown710]

Sorry can't edit my post. what I was doing looks like the screenshot in Post #1.

 

[rostonix]

Do you have any value in RandomFileName variable?

 

[jimmybrown710]

Yes, full path and filename of the empty text file was in the RandomFileName variable.
