Create a Text File in Julia

Question

I have a string

a = """
---
title: Just a test
author: Me
date: 2022-01-03
---

# Test Header 
Some text.
"""

from which I want to create a file foobar.jmd. What is the best way of doing this?

Answer 1

fname = "foobar.jmd"
dirpath = "/tmp"
fpath = joinpath(dirpath, fname)

open(fpath, "w") do file
    write(file, a)
end
