Description

Writes a text into the zip archive.
This is a way to easily add a text file to a zip archive.
Please use ZipFile.CreateFile first to create a new file before writing to it.

In version 5.0 of the plugin, the parameters are changed and we got an extra unused parameter between function name and text. This was corrected in 5.1pr3.

Examples

Creates a text file:

MBS( "ZipFile.CreateFile"; "test.txt"; $date )
MBS( "ZipFile.WriteTextFile"; "Hello World" )
