Due to security restrictions you can not write local files using Javascript.

For this, In your script section add:

try{var wsh = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');} catch(err){}

This will promp user to enable Activex.
Then you can run any of the command using:

wsh.Run("notepad.exe"); //OR
wsh.Run("echo asdfasf sFAS  > a");

may be it works for you NOTE: i used ActiveXObject that means it works in IE only

JavaScript on a web page cannot write a file to the local computer.

There is some scope for this in HTML 5, but it's not widely supported yet: http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/storage.html
