[scilab-Users] overwriting files with write()

[Adrien Vogt-Schilb]

hi

you can use deletefile(filename); before write (filename,string);

deltefile will not mind if filename does not exist, so this will work 
without checking before

with old scilab versions, you can use unix("rm "+filename) or unix("del 
"+filename)


for more sophisticated things, such as appending something to a file, 
see mopen
