save file without window?

[Possemo]

how do you save a file to disk, to for example:

fileToWrite = utils.saveFileWindow(“Save content as data”,File.getSpecialLocation(File.userHomeDirectory),”*.bin”,true)

but “quiet” without the FileWindow and with a defined filename? I think I saw this somewhere in a panel but I don’t remember which one it was.

I tried this but it does nothing. It don’t gives an error either:

function saveit()

getPanelValues()
PatchDatas=table.concat(PatchDataValuesTable,” “,1,279)

dataToWrite=MemoryBlock(PatchDatas)

fileToWrite = File(“c:\\myfile.syx”)
fileToWrite:create()
fileToWrite:replaceWithData(dataToWrite)

end

I found out a way that works:

path = “C:\eclipse”
fileToWrite = File(path..”/”..”init.ini”)
fileToWrite:create()
fileToWrite:replaceWithData(dataToWrite)

For some reason it won’t work with path = “C:\test” and a rootdir like “C:\” won’t work either. Moreover, fileToWrite = File(“C:\eclipse”..”/”..”init.ini”) is not working too. You have to define a variable for “C:\eclipse”.

That’s it.

Hi Possemo, is the create() line really needed?
Looking in Juce API doc, the File() function is doing the creation of the file object (fileToWrite) if what you have within () is a valid full path…

Did you try without?

[Possemo]

yes I guess you are right. create() may be superfluous.
