.txt File creation in a given dir

[TeTube]

Hello, i got a problem that i cant solve by my own.

I want to create a .txt file in a dir i just created before.

The .ini creation works for some reason.

If I try to create the .txts in the same dir as my application, it works.

Could you help?

Opening the file with the flag set to 0 won't create the file. That flag is Read mode.

; Creates log.txt
    ;FileOpen($logFile, 0)
    ;FileClose($logFile)
    FileWrite($logFile, "");; no need for FileOpen/Close to create the file
    MsgBox(0, "log.txt", "created log.txt")

If you insist on FileOpen/Close use

FileOpen($LogFile, 2) ; or replace the 2 with a 1.

No problem but I should have also pointed out that there is seldom a reason to create a blank file. FileWrite() or FileWriteLine() will create the file if it doesn't exist.

Also there really isn't a need to create the folder first either. FileOpen() with the flag set to 9 or 10 will create the path if it doesn't already exist.

_FileCreate() is an alternative though it uses the same functions as provided above
