Hi all! I need to write a search result in JSON format to a file in the filecabinet. The documentation for N/file only has examples for create. How do you write to an existing file?

load the file, set the contents, save the file

myFile.contents = 'some string'?

huh, actually that sounds familiar, i think i remember you just create a new file with the new contents, and delete teh old file

You can't.

contents

is read-only

That's what I thought

right if you wanna reuse the file name you'd have delete the original file

oh duh, classic map / reduce mistake. Forgot to include a try/catch
