Lets Go

So, you want to know how to write a String to a file in Swift. Writing a String in Swift is easy because Apple has provided you with an easy API in the Foundation framework. You just need to supply the file path and catch the error, if any.

Without much talk. You can copy and paste this code to check how it works

import Foundation

print("Start Write")
let content = "My name is Mozzlog"
do {
    try content.write(toFile: "file.txt", atomically: true, encoding:.utf8)
    print("End Write")
} catch {
    print("Error: \\(error)")
}

That’s it. You just need to invoke the write method from String to write it to a file.

Uh Snap! Error Happen!

Well, no tutorial is perfect. Do you find errors? Does it crash?
