Stumped on where script is going wrong ... creating 12 dummy text files per year ...

[Diana (Cda)]

I'm in the process of creating 4 years of calendars.  In another thread i received very kind help for the same type of thing for a different file creation process and it works flawlessly.  But here I've been coming back to the script over and over since last night, editing and changing, but I just can't figure out this time where it's going wrong.  Better eyes than mine have to see this 'cause I'm just not seeing it <lol>!

Here is the script with the 2 original lines in it from the other task that produce results as the first 2 lines:

#Region --- CodeWizard generated code Start ---
;InputBox features: Title=Yes, Prompt=Yes, Default Text=No, Input Length=4, Width=500, Height=125
If Not IsDeclared("sInputBoxAnswer") Then Local $sInputBoxAnswer
;$sInputBoxAnswer = InputBox("Year?","What year do you wish to create calendars for?",""," 4","500","125","250","250")
$sInputBoxAnswer = InputBox("Year?","What year do you wish to create calendars for?",""," 4","500","125")    ; width, height, left, top -- leaving out LEFT and TOP centers box.
Select
    Case @Error = 0 ;OK - The string returned is valid
        FileWrite(@ScriptDir & "\" & $sInputBoxAnswer & ".01 - JAN " & $sInputBoxAnswer & " - Wall Calendar .pdf",  "")  ; empty file -- THIS LINE WORKS
        FileWrite(@ScriptDir & "\" & $sInputBoxAnswer & ".02 - FEB " & $sInputBoxAnswer & " - Wall Calendar .pdf",  "")  ; empty file -- THIS LINE WORKS
        FileWrite(@ScriptDir & "\IC w-date (70perc)- " & $sInputBoxAnswer & ".01 - JAN " & $sInputBoxAnswer & " .txt,  ")  ; error:  INCORRECT # OF PARAMETERS IN FUNCTION CALL
        FileWrite(@ScriptDir & "\IC w-date (70perc)- " & $sInputBoxAnswer & ".02 - FEB " & $sInputBoxAnswer & " .txt,  ")  ; error:  INCORRECT # OF PARAMETERS IN FUNCTION CALL
    Case @Error = 1 ;The Cancel button was pushed
        Exit    ; finished
    Case @Error = 3 ;The InputBox failed to open
        Exit    ; finished
EndSelect
#EndRegion --- CodeWizard generated code End ---

Thank you!!!

this part 

& " .txt,  "

should be

& " .txt" ,

so you end up with

FileWrite(@ScriptDir & "\IC w-date (70perc)- " & $sInputBoxAnswer & ".01 - JAN " & $sInputBoxAnswer & " .txt","")

<lol>, I just _knew_ it was something my eyes were missing despite trying to fix it with a good sleep cycle in between tries! <lol>

This is great!  I just completed all the 3 calendar files for each month for 2026.  I'll do 2027 to 2030 later.  With these files in the folder, when I go to save the style sheet, the calendar file itself, and then the actual jpg of each month to use, it goes extremely fast and smoothly as I don't have to re-type each 3 times!!!  (12x3=36 files per year!).

Thank you!!!
