Temp file generation works, but I cannot get composition to use it as
inputfile.

var i;

var temp = "/Users/rjmolesa/temp/BizCard-Blank/tempout.txt";
var orginputfilename = "/Users/rjmolesa/temp/BizCard-Blank/Instance.TXT";

var sf = new ExternalDataFileEx(orginputfilename, "\t");
var of = new File(temp);

if (FusionPro.inValidation == false)
{
    try
    {
      if (of.open("create") == false)
      {
        return "Could not write output file:\n" + temp;
      }
    }
    catch (e)
    {
      return e + ":\n" + temp;
    }

    of.close();

    // tries to write to the temp file
    if (of.open("write") == false)
    {
        print("Could not write output file.");
    }
}

// writes the labels to the temp file
for (i=0;i<sf.fieldCount;i++)
{
    if (i>0)
        of.write("\t");
        of.write(sf.GetFieldValue(0,i));
}
of.write("\r\n");

// writes the data to the temp file
for (i=0;i<sf.fieldCount;i++)
{

  startval = 1;
  repeatcount = Int(sf.GetFieldValue(i, "Repeat Count"));
  
  for(j=0;j<repeatcount;j++)
  {
    for(k=0;k<sf.fieldCount;k++)
    {      
      if (sf.GetFieldValue(i,sf.recordCount-1) != "undefined")
      {
        if (k>0)
          of.write("\t");

        switch(sf.GetFieldValue(0,k))
        {
          case "Repeat Count":
             of.write("1");
             break;
          default:
             of.write(sf.GetFieldValue(i,k));
        }
      }
    }
    of.write("\r\n");
  }
}

FusionPro.Composition.inputFileName = 
"/Users/rjmolesa/temp/BizCard-Blank/tempout.txt";
