Writing data to text file in Node.js

Currently, I have the following block of code:

net = require('net');
var clients = [];

net.createServer(function(s) {

  clients.push(s);

  s.on('data', function (data) {
    clients.forEach(function(c) {
      c.write(data);

    });
    process.stdout.write(data);//write data to command window
  });

  s.on('end', function() {
    process.stdout.write("lost connection");
  });

}).listen(9876);

Which is used to set up my Windows computer as a server and receive data from my linux computer. It is currently writing data to the command window. I would like to write the data into a text file to specific location, how do i do this?

Answer

Use the fs module to deal with the filesystem:

var net = require('net');
var fs = require('fs');
// ...snip
s.on('data', function (data) {
  clients.forEach(function(c) {

    c.write(data);
  });

  fs.writeFile('myFile.txt', data, function(err) {
    // Deal with possible error here.
  });
});
