Method to write a string to a file. This function can overwrite an existing file and can create new files. You can also use the method .content(). This method was originally created by Adobe.

Note:

• Do not confuse this method with the default ExtendScript method write().
• When using RoboHelp 8, files created with this method are encoded in iso-8859-1 encoding. Files created using RoboHelp 9 can also be encoded in iso-8859-1. You can convert files to UTF-8 using the method .convertUTF8(). The method .convertUTF8() is optimized for files created with the method .writeFile() and .content().

The method .writeFile() is located in the file file.jsxinc.
