Name

saveStream()
Examples




		

		Description
		
Save the contents of a stream to a file in the sketch folder. This is basically saveBytes(blah, loadBytes()), but done more efficiently (and with less confusing syntax).


   
The target parameter can be either a String specifying a file name, or, for greater control over the file location, a File object. (Note that, unlike some other functions, this will not automatically compress or uncompress gzip files.)

	


	
Syntax
saveStream(target, source)


	
	Parameters

target
File, or String: name of the file to write to




source
String: location to read from (a filename, path, or URL)

	

	
Returnsboolean or void
