*/write [-cidnaiNmN l<line> s<text> w<wildcard> r</regex/>] <filename> [text]*

Writes lines to a text file.

*Switches*

table(ktable).

|*Switch*|*Description*|

| -c | Clears the entire file before writing to it. |

| -i | Inserts the text at a given line instead of replacing it. |

| -d | Deletes the given or last line. |

| -n | Prevent adding [[$crlf]] at the end of the text. |

| -a | Appends the text to an existing line. |

| -lN | Line number for the line to write/modify/delete. |

| -sN | Operates on a line that matches the scanned <text>. |

| -wN | Operates on a line that matches the scanned <[[Scripting_Wildcards<notextile>|</notextile>wildcard]]> pattern. |

| -r | same as -w - but uses a [[Scripting_Regex<notextile>|</notextile>regular expression]] match. |

| -mN | changes how [[$crlf]] are written to the end of a file, where N = 0 is the default behavior, N = 1 adds [[$crlf]] to end of file if it is not already there before writing a line, and N = 2 never adds [[$crlf]] to end of file before writing a line. |
