Append

Description

Procedure Append opens the specified file for writing and appends the data to the end of the file. Existing data in the file is NOT overwritten.

If the filename includes a fully qualified path, the path has to use the appropriate notation for the local operating system: : Macintosh HD:Applications:VectorWorks:Plug-Ins:Data:Notes.txt : C:\Program Files\VectorWorks\Plug-Ins\Data\Notes.txt

If the filename includes a path relative to the location of the VectorWorks executable, the subfolder delimiters have to be backslashes: : Plug-Ins\Data\Notes.txt

If the filename does not include a path, the file is assumed to exist in the same folder as the VectorWorks executable.

def vs.Append(fileName):
    return None
