File creation problems

[four-ks]

Hi,
I'm pretty new at writing extensions so I'm quite certain my problem is a
mistake on my part.
I've written a piece of code that takes a data file and formats it into a
table and writes the table to a new file (the client doesn't want to use
templates, that's why it's done this way).
The data file is formatted with the first line as the page title, the second
line has the column names and the rest is the data. The data if formatted with
";"
The function doStuff calls the fixTag function.

Whenever I run this, the contents of the data file (opened with fh =
dreamweaver.openDocument(theFile); in the fixTag function) receives the data I
try to write to the new file (created with var newTableDoc =
dreamweaver.createXHTMLDocument(); in the doStuff function).

What am I doing wrong here. I've tried using dreamweaver.releaseDocument to
release the data file, but it doesn't help. I've tried creating the new file
with dreamweaver.getNewDocumentDOM but can't figure out how to then save that
without running into the same overwrite problem.
Any help, tips, and the like is greatly appreciated.

Problem code is attached.


function doStuff(){
var siteFocus,agree,chooseFiles,fileSelect;
var alertMessage = "";
var rString;

var siteSelectedArray = new Array();
var writeSiteSelectedArray = new Array();
var urlArray = new Array;
var siteFocus = site.getFocus();
urlArray = dw.getDocumentPath("document");

rString = fixTag(urlArray);
var newTableDoc = dreamweaver.createXHTMLDocument();
newTableDoc.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].innerHTML = rString;
// alert(newTableDoc.documentElement.outerHTML);
}

function fixTag(theFile,autoSave){
var fh;
var fileLines;
var splitLines = new Array;
var stateBody = new Array;
var stateName = "none";
var metaTags;
var repeated = "0";
var returnString="";
var pageHeading, tableHeadings, tableContent;
var tableEnd = "</table>\n";
fh = dreamweaver.openDocument(theFile); // Open the file for reading
fileLines = fh.documentElement.outerHTML.split("\n");
for (i = 1;i<fileLines.length;i++){
splitLines[i]=fileLines[i].split(";");
}
dreamweaver.releaseDocument(fh);
// heading of page
pageHeading = "<h1>" + fileLines[0] + "</h1>\n";
// Generate table header
tableHeadings = "<thead>\n<tr>\n";
for (i=1;i<splitLines[1].length;i++){
tableHeadings += "<th>" + splitLines[1][i] + "</th>\n";
}
tableHeadings += "</tr>\n</thead>\n";

for (i=2;i<splitLines.length-1;i++){
if (!stateBody[splitLines[i][0]]){
stateBody[splitLines[i][0]] = "";
}
stateBody[splitLines[i][0]] += "<tr>\n";
for (j=1;j<splitLines[i].length;j++){
stateBody[splitLines[i][0]] += "<td>" + splitLines[i][j] + "</td>\n";
}
stateBody[splitLines[i][0]] += "</tr>\n";
}
returnString += pageHeading;
for (i in stateBody){
returnString += "<table>\n <caption>" + i + "</caption>\n" + tableHeadings +
"<tbody>\n" + stateBody[i] + "</tbody>\n</table>\n";
}

return returnString;

}

Found the solution. Was my poor coding.
I just need to have

dreamweaver.createXHTMLDocument();
newTableDoc=dreamweaver.getActiveWindow();
newTableDoc.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].innerHTML = rString;

hope this helps someone else.

Cheers.
