Print array to a file Ask Question. Asked 11 years, 9 months ago. Active 1 year ago. Viewed k times. I would like to print an array to a file. I would like the file to look exactly similar like how a code like this looks.

I just wrote this function to output an array as text: Should output nicely formatted array. This script was created for internal use. This is not fool proof and should be used with trusted data only. Would be near impossible to do that with serialized output Not the cleanest function but it gets the job done.

When you write a text file and want to insert a line break, you need to use the correct line-ending character s for your operating system.

If you use the wrong line ending characters when writing your files, you might find that other applications that open those files will "look funny". In contrast, you can also use 'b' to force binary mode, which will not translate your data. To use these flags, specify either 'b' or 't' as the last character of the mode parameter.
