SaveFileRequester returns a String with the name of the file the user has choosen to save the file in. It does not save anything.

With this filename, you can use 'CreateFile()' or 'OpenFile()' to open a file, and then
use 'WriteStringN()', 'WriteString()' to write text to that file.
Use 'CloseFile()' to close the file after you've done writing.

Example:

Code: Select all

Filename.s = SaveFileRequester("Save File...","C:\File.txt","Text Files|*.txt|All Files|*.*", 1)

If FileName = ""  ; this means the user pressed abort
  MessageRequester("","No file specified!",0)
  End
EndIf

If CreateFile(0, FileName)  ; if it returns true, the file is opened correctly
  WriteStringN("Line1")  ; write some text
  WriteStringN("Line2")  ; each on a new line
  
  WriteString("This will be ") ; all on the same line
  WriteString("on the same Line")
  
  CloseFile(0)  ; done writing
  
Else  ; if CreateFile doesn't return true, the file could not be created
  MessageRequester("","Cannot open file!",0)
  End
EndIf

MessageRequester("","file written",0)
End
