Print a list and export as txt file

Would this be possible with JSL?

For convenience sake I would like it to be printed out into a seperate txt file.

 

My scuffed solution would be to print it into the debug log which would also work but you'd have to go into the debug mode everytime you want to look up something.

dt = Current Data Table();
L = dt << Get Column Names(String);
for(i = 1, i < N items(L)+1, i++,
Print(L[i],i); // prints the string in the list and it's position next to it
);

Re: Print a list and export as txt file

This script will write the column names to the JMP Log, and then will save it to a text file

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();
L = dt << Get Column Names( String );
theText = "";
For( i = 1, i < N Items( L ) + 1, i++,
	Write( L[i] || " " || Char( i ) || "\!n" );
	theText = theText || L[i] || " " || Char( i ) || "\!n";
);
Save Text File( "path/filename.txt", theText );
