Readig and writing to text files from tpl

mickdundee

Gidday All,

In my tpl when a new news item is added I want to add the newsletter name and headline for that article to a text file.

Can I read and write to a text file within a tpl please.

I have successfully used iw ostream to write to a file but how does one read from a text file. Do you just do it using PERL's filehandling.

Cheers
Colin

If you need to write to a file outside of the workarea then yes, use PERL's filehandling routines.

Remember at the end of the day, your tpl is turned into a PERL script so you can do pretty much anything you like using <iw_perl> tags.
