#Include <File.au3>

$PlayerName = ClipGet()

;;;;;open credit file or create new

If FileExists(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" + $PlayerName & ".txt") Then

$PlayerCreditFile = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" + $PlayerName & ".txt", 0)

Else

_FileCreate(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" + $PlayerName & ".txt")

$PlayerCreditFile = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" + $PlayerName & ".txt", 0)

EndIf

;;;;;get player credits

$PlayerCredit = FileReadLine($PlayerCreditFile)

FileClose($PlayerCreditFile)

Try this.

$PlayerCreditFile = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" & $PlayerName & ".txt", 9)

and read about the mode option for fileopen() in the help file

Evidently _FileCreate cannot create a new directory. This works

#include <File.au3>

$PlayerName = ClipGet()

;;;;;open credit file or create new
If FileExists(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" & $PlayerName & ".txt") Then
    $PlayerCreditFile = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" & $PlayerName & ".txt", 0)
Else
    If Not FileExists(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits") Then DirCreate(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits")
    If Not _FileCreate(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" & $PlayerName & ".txt") Then
        MsgBox(4096, @DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" & $PlayerName & ".txt", " Error Creating/Resetting log.      error:" & @error & @LF & @DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" & $PlayerName & ".txt")
        Exit
    EndIf
    $PlayerCreditFile = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\PlayerCredits\" & $PlayerName & ".txt", 0)
EndIf

;;;;;get player credits
$PlayerCredit = FileReadLine($PlayerCreditFile)
FileClose($PlayerCreditFile)
