Hi,

I used one of the groovy scripts found in the forum to write out the message data to a file.

It created the file as specified, but the output is actually displayed in the MS-DOS window that started the UI.

Here is a screen shot of the script and test case.

Am I missing something here ?

Ole,

All of the following creates the file but writes to the MSDOS window.

C:\\out.txt
C://out.txt
C:/out.txt

But C:\out.txt throws an exception as below.

The same holds true for lower case c: as well.

Bhuvan.

Trying c:\\out.txt instead of c:/out.txt is a wrong track.
Windows inside uses the forward slash as path separator.
It is only the very upper layer (cmd.exe) that insists on using
backslash. When used programmatically it is better to use
c:/out.txt
