overwriting an existing file with Groovy ?

[Markus Jais-2]

hello

I am using Groovy to generate the config file for
Cruise Control.

I have this code:

def configFile = new File(CC_CONFIG)
configFile.createNewFile()
configFile << "<cruisecontrol>\n\n"
.....


writing the file works. but when the file already
exists, the new content is appended. how can I
overwrite the existing file with the new content ?

called "createNewFile" didn't work. I couldn't find
anything in the docs.

best wishes

Markus

Try something like

def w = configFile.newWriter()
w << "..."
