atofileouttxt

atofileouttxt is a programming utility or library function used to write textual data to a plain text file. It is commonly employed in data processing, logging, and export workflows to persist results in a human readable form.

Overview: the function takes a destination file path and input data, and writes text according to a specified character encoding and file mode. It is typically exposed in scripting languages, ETL tools, and batch processing libraries as a simple mechanism for exporting results.

Parameters and behavior: typical parameters include filepath (string), data (string or iterable of strings), encoding (for example UTF-8), and mode (write or append). Additional options may control line terminators, whether to create missing directories, and whether existing content should be truncated. Some implementations support streaming writes to avoid loading all data into memory.

Syntax in pseudocode: atofileouttxt(filepath, data, encoding='UTF-8', mode='w', newline='\n')

Examples: atofileouttxt('out.txt', ['header', 'row1', 'row2']) writes three lines to out.txt. atofileouttxt('log.txt', logLines, mode='a') appends to the existing log file.
