ds_list_save

NOTE: This script has been deprecated and removed from the index. It appears here for historical purposes only.

NOTE: This script is made somewhat redundant by the addition of native functions ds_list_read() and ds_list_write(), although this script works differently. For the interchange of human-readable lists, native functions json_encode() and json_decode() are more robust and are compatible with many existing tools.

ds_list_save(dsid,filename [,separator]): Saves a list to a given file.

COPY/// ds_list_save(dsid,filename [,separator])
//
//  Saves a list to a given file. Returns 0 on success, (-1) on error.
//
//      dsid        ds_list to be saved, real
//      filename    file path to save the list to, string
//      separator   string used between elements, string (optional)
//
//  If separator is not given, each list element will be on a separate line.
//  If separator also appears within data, the list will not load correctly.
