Question by ILoveMyDada · Aug 23, 2017 at 11:16 AM · filepathdirectorypersistentdatapathtxt

How to save a .txt file into a specified folder

Hi I'm trying to send and save information to a dedicated folder on my hard drive. Like a username for example.

I've actually been able to send the file out. But by default, it goes directly into the project folder.

Any way I can direct the file through a clear path like: Macintosh HD > Desktop > UsernameFolder ???

Any help would be great, thanks!

I think this method might help you

 public static bool WriteFile (string path, string fileName, string data, FileMode mode)
     {
         bool retValue = false;
         string dataPath = path;
         try {
             if (!Directory.Exists (dataPath)) {
                 Directory.CreateDirectory (dataPath);
             }
             dataPath += fileName;
                try{
             System.IO.File.WriteAllText (dataPath, data);
             retValue = true;
         } catch (System.Exception ex) {
             string ErrorMessages = "File Write Error\n" + ex.Message;
             retValue = false;
             Debug.LogError (ErrorMessages);
         }
         return retValue;
     }

Pass the path and file name you want and data in string format. Filename should contain the extension aswell

This is great. It needs a small tweak though:

     public static bool WriteLine (string path, string fileName, string data)
     {
         bool retValue = false;
         try {
             if (!Directory.Exists (path))
                 Directory.CreateDirectory (path);
             System.IO.File.WriteAllText (path + fileName, data);
             retValue = true;
         } catch (System.Exception ex) {
             string Error$$anonymous$$essages = "File Write Error\n" + ex.$$anonymous$$essage;
             retValue = false;
             Debug.LogError (Error$$anonymous$$essages);
         }
         return retValue;
     }
