I'm looking to write a small amount of text (or append to the text already stored) in a .txt file on the server's HDD using JavaScript. My intention is for long-term data storage, so temporary files are out of the question. Basically, if I have a file

I want to append "text" to line1 and "this" to line2, so as to produce

  • The answer will be nothing to do with JavaScript unfortunately (unless your server is Node.js). Judging by your HTML tag and the XMLHttpREquest, I'm guessing this is a browser based application. What server side language are you using? You'll need to send the content back in another XMLHttpRequest and save it on your server using your server-side language. – James Hay Apr 12 '15 at 22:42
