javascript is a client side language that can't directly access the file system from a browser — Ahmad

The only way would be accessing Flash/AIR API from Javascript to write on file system or send it to a server side script that creates a file on the server. — Ahmad

Quick answer : probably not.

Long answer : it depends of the context. Javascript is usually running in a sandboxed browser environment. For security reasons, there is no API defined to interact directly with the host file system.

In the other hand, a Javascript engine (think spidermonkey, V8) can be embedded just like any other scripting language. The host application in this case may or may not allow you to manipulate the filesystem. An example is node.js, or Qt.

If you use node(Js on browser can not write file), you can save the file content as:

"var myArray="+ JSON.stringify(array)+";";

The final file content will like this:

var myArray=["News","Sports","International"];

Possible...unless you are using node.js

vsr fs = require('fs');
fs.writeFile('newfile.js',[your array],function(){
    if(err) return console.log("something went wrong");
    console.log("File created");
});
