Give Format into File a string output

Status: New

While I was writing this idea, I came up with this one:

 

Give Format Into File a string output. That way we can easily see what is being written to the file. Useful for development and debugging purposes.

And it looks like I accidently a word in the title post. It should read:

"Give Format Into File a String Output"

Not really a fan of this function, IMO it combines two distinct functions which are probably best handled separately.

 

I'd use Format into String and then Write to Text file, but that is just me.

Yeah, this function, from what I can tell, is exactly that: Format into String + Write to Text File. Just comes down to personal preference in the end.  🙂  The advantage of doing things your way would be that this Idea isn't needed! (Though I still like the Idea Smiley Wink)

 

And thanks Laura F. for editing the title.
