writing a text file
I'm trying to write out a text file that lists most of the render globals. I've basically got everything working except for one major problem. I've tried using both fwrite and fprint, but they both only seem to append the specified file.What I need to do is either overwrite the file, or erase the file before re-writing it. Anyone have any thoughts on how to do that?
Thanks again,

fprint $fileid "my lines of code whatever I want to write \n";
fclose $fileid;
That's how you do it.

open to write (will overwrite the file)
int $fileid = `fopen $filename "w"`;
open to append to the file
int $fileid = `fopen $filename "a"`;
//from the docs
"w" open file for writing (destroys prior contents of file).
"a" append for writing (appends to end of file).
"r" open for reading.
