Write results into a file using CasperJS

Question

How do I create a file in the file system and place the contents of this.getPageContent() inside it?

Answer 1

You could also append to a text file using the method below

    var casper = require('casper').create();
    var fs = require('fs');
    var fname = new Date().getTime() + '.txt';
    var save = fs.pathJoin(fs.workingDirectory, 'nwaomachux', fname);

    casper.start('http://www.po3w.com/', function() {
        fs.write(save, this.getTitle() + '\n', 'w');
    });

    casper.thenOpen('http://phantomjs.org', function() {
        fs.write(save, this.getTitle(), 'a');
    });

    casper.run();

• If the folder, nwaomachux, doesn't yet exist, it'll be automatically created for you.
• If you saved the file as save.js, run it from PhantomJS with the following command on a Linux PC

./phantom casperjs/bin/bootstrap.js --casper-path=casperjs --cli save.js
