open a .txt file by JSL script and save it as a jmp file

I want to open a .txt file by jsl script and save it as a jmp file.
Is there a simple way to do it by scripting?

look in the scripting index for LoadTextFile() and SaveTextFile(); they don't care about the extension the way open() does.

and I may have misinterpreted... are you saving a script? a datatable? is the source a .csv?

This may be what you are looking for

dt=open("pathtofolder\filename.txt");
close(dt,save("$TEMP\lookup.jmp"));
