Why doesn't writing to a file work?

[iamakimmer]

If I took the example, and just tried to write to a file instead of writing to the response:

 var result = nodeExcel.execute(conf);
  fs.writeFileSync("./write_file.xlsx", result);

The file is corrupted..why wouldn't this work?

I been struggling with the same issue for 2 days.

try

fs.writeFileSync("./write_file.xlsx", result, 'binary');

Same issue for me, how about you @thnick?

Hey @iamakimmer, I ended up using 'node-xlsx' to produce a stream I could save as a file / do other stuff with, I was able to get it to work with little issue.
