How-To Write an Open Handler

Here's a sample showing how to write some text out to a file using AppleScript's write command (Scripting Addition).

Sample
var theText = "Some text";
var startupDiskName = MacOS.finder().desktop.startup_disk.name;
var outputFile = new MacOS.FileSpec(startupDiskName + ":Desktop Folder:test.html");

with (MacOS.appSelf()) {
    var fileRef = open_for_access(outputFile, true);

    try {
        write(theText, null, null, fileRef);
        close_access(fileRef);
    }
    catch (e) {
        close_access(fileRef);
        throw e;
    }
}
