hi<br>
<br>
you can use deletefile(filename); before write (filename,string);<br>
<br>
deltefile will not mind if filename does not exist, so this will
work without checking before <br>
<br>
with old scilab versions, you can use unix("rm "+filename) or
unix("del "+filename)<br>
<br>
<br>
for more sophisticated things, such as appending something to a
file, see mopen<br>

<pre wrap="">I am saving a string with the function write:
write('name.txt',string);
However, if there is already a file called 'name.txt' in the directory then
the write() function stops and will not save the string. How do I get
write() to overwrite files?
