Save field text to file

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Adrian,

The script should look like:

case "Save"
   ask file empty with "Untitled.txt"
   -- now, the variable 'it' contains a file path or
   -- it is empty if the user pressed Cancel
   if it is not empty then
     put it into myFile
     -- set filetype before creating a file
     set the filetype to "ttxtTEXT"
     put fld "edtText" into url ("file:" &  myFile)
   end if
   break


Don't forget: thou shalt always use quotes around literals! The name  
edtText should be surrounded by quotes.

Best regards,

Mark
