Cross-posting this topic here in case someone needs it.

TL:DR
Inserting the below function will allow you to append to a file when using AsciiOutput or TextOutput. Works across Prolog, Metadata, Data and Epliog as well as other TI processes:

Code: Select all

AsciiOutputOpen(<filename>,0|FILE_OPEN_APPEND|FILE_OPEN_SHARED);

Argument of 0 truncates.
Can be used in PAW, just ignore the error where PAW does not recognize the function.

Full article is here.

@Admins - could we leave this here for a while then move to Tips & Tricks once it has had some exposure please.

Hi,

you are sleeping with someone at IBM or you randomly put words into TI's and hope for the best?

Either way, keep up the great work!
