PUT$(FileName$, Contents$, [InpVar])

Arguments

• FileName$ is a string expression containing the name of a file to which the contents of string Contents$ has to be written. If FileName$ does not contain a path, the file is assumed to be present on the current Quaestor Report directory.
• Contents$ is a string or document that has to be written to file FileName$. For Contents$, the TEMPLATE$ function can be used to create an arbitrarily formatted set of data, i.e. non-Telitab input files.
• InpVar is an optional list of parameters or functions. The list has to contain the parameters, used by the function TEMPLATE$() if that is used as Contents$.

...

1. The PUT$ function can be used to export data from a string into an input file for a satellite program. This can be used, in combination with TEMPLATE$() and the GET$() function, to run a satellite program.

...

If the string INPUT$ contains the TeLiTab:

0 
2 "XC" "YC" 
"1" 1 1 
"2" 2 4 
"3" 3 9 
"4" 4 16 
"5" 5 25 
"6" 6 36 
"7" 7 49 
"8" 8 64 
"9" 9 81 
"10" 10 100

...

And the file INPUT.EPI will contain the TeLiTab:

0 
2 "XC" "YC" 
"1" 1 1 
"2" 2 4 
"3" 3 9 
"4" 4 16 
"5" 5 25 
"6" 6 36 
"7" 7 49 
"8" 8 64 
"9" 9 81 
"10" 10 100

...

The syntax 

PUT$("File.ext", "NullString")

saves an object embedded in the relation containing this function to a file in the current knowledge base project directory (if no path information is included in the file name).
