<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">In the XCOS environment, WFILE_F was deprecated in 5.5.2 and removed in 6.0.0
This seems to be a VERY backward step as it makes it very difficult
(impossible?) to generate ASCII output files that are readable/importable by
other tools (e.g. Excel, Perl, Python)
5.5.2 tells me to use WRITEC_F instead - but this block lacks any option for
generating ASCII formatted
If there is a standard mechanism for generating ASCII output *within XCOS*,
please explain how this can be done.
If there is no facility for this, I cannot see myself ever using v6.</pre>

<p>This issue has been reported as <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14625">bug
14625</a>.<br>
Some question about the relevance of this undiscussed removal
arose shortly after the block was declared obsolete, in 2012:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-TR-WRITEC-f-amp-WFILE-f-tt4025217.html">http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-TR-WRITEC-f-amp-WFILE-f-tt4025217.html</a><br>
No anwser was provided by developers.<br>
And another one in 2015:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mailinglists.scilab.org/How-to-use-writec-f-block-in-xcos-tt4032501.html">http://mailinglists.scilab.org/How-to-use-writec-f-block-in-xcos-tt4032501.html</a><br>
Still without answer.<br>
<br>
IMO, unless some how-to explanations / answers / rationale for
this removal are shortly provided,<br>
the block should be restored, and its obsolescence canceled.
Indeed, WRITEC_f is a fake replacement.<br>
