rust write to file

To write to a file in Rust, you can use the std::fs::File struct and its associated methods. First, you'll need to open the file in write mode using the File::create function, which returns a Result type. Here's an example:

use std::fs::File;
use std::io::prelude::*;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut file = File::create("output.txt")?;
    file.write_all(b"Hello, world!")?;
    Ok(())
}

In this example, we import the necessary modules, create a File object using File::create, and then use the write_all method to write the content to the file. The content is provided as a byte slice (b"Hello, world!").

The ? operator is used to handle any potential errors that may occur during file creation or writing. If an error occurs, it will be propagated up the call stack.

Make sure to handle the std::io::Result returned by the main function appropriately in your application.
