getting data out of an exe

Hello. I want to publish a script as an exe and it writes to a file. I want to have axcess to the data in that file after the exe is closed (ie I want it saved in the same folder the exe is stored).

How can I do this? Right now nothing comes out of the exe.

The documentation for Publishing as an EXE describes how to accomplish this. Specifically, you need to use the viz.res.getPublishedPath() command.

Right, but that just returns a string - the path of the file. It doesn't output the file.

Of course it doesn't, it's up to you to create the file using the new path and write to it:

Code:

f = open( viz.res.getPublishedPath('output.txt') , 'w' )

f.write('bla bla bla')

f.close()
