CONTEXT
I am trying to save an array to a text file.
My array is a js variable arrR (say):
[-0, 0.0016, 0.0034, 0.005, 0.0067, 0.0082, 0.0103, 0.0116, 0.0135, 0.0154, 0.017]
The function below saves the array in a text file:
$("#saveB").click(function () {
var diff = 3;
var json = JSON.stringify(arrR);
var downloadLink = document.createElement("a");
var blob = new Blob(["ufeff", json]);
var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
downloadLink.href = url;
downloadLink.download = "data.txt";
document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
downloadLink.click();
document.body.removeChild(downloadLink);
arrR=[];
});
And this works nicely.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO
Instead of having a .txt file like:
[-0, 0.0016, 0.0034, 0.005, 0.0067, 0.0082, 0.0103, 0.0116, 0.0135, 0.0154, 0.017]
I would like to have a .txt or a.csv file, which would like:
data measured at xx 0; -0 3; 0.0016 6; 0.0034 9; 0.005 12;0.0067 15; 0.0082 18;0.0103 21; 0.0116 24; 0.0135 27; 0.0154 30; 0.017
where:
the second column of the file is arrR,
the first column is an array where all elements are 0,3,6 (the difference being diff) ,
the header is the current time.
Is there a simple way to do it ?
Many thanks

Answer
You could change the
var json = JSON.stringify(arrR);
to
const header = `data measured at ${(new Date()).toUTCString()}n`
var json = header + arrR.map((value, index) =>
`${diff*index}; ${value}`).join('n');
