Hi,
not sure if this is the best way of doing it or not, but it works:

a = {a:0,b:'bb'}
b = string(a,/print)

now, if your structure does NOT contain any other structure, just remove
the first and last character of the b string (the {})
If you do have sub-structures, search and replace every occurrence of {
and }!

then, write b to your file!
