Turing program that creates a .txt file

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Hi, I want to create a program that creates a .txt file and names it after what the user inputs.


What is the problem you are having?
Can't figure out how Turing would make a file o~o
I already understand how to have Turing read and write to a file.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Tried to use Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)



var filename, filenametxt : string % File name and file name w/ .txt

put "Please type the name of the file that you want to create (no extensions, please)"
get filename

filenametxt := filename + ".txt"
put filenametxt




Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1 and 4.11

Re: Turing program that creates a .txt file

I'll try to clear it up a little bit for you.

In dan's post, he shows you how to set up a stream to write to files.   if said file doesn't exist it creates one, but you need to have a path and a name for your file.

[code]
var fileName: string := "blah.txt"  %%this will be what the user names their file right.
var filePath : string := "c:\\users\\%yourUSERnameHERE%\\desktop\" %%a location, make it what you want
var fileNo : int := 1  %%this is to USE the file

put filePath + fileName %%know what \\ does


%%example to show you 
if File.Exists(filePath + fileName) then
    put "it exists!"
else  %%no file was created so BOOM ONE FAULSE
    put "doesn't exist!"
    %%create it -> SEE that post again
    open : fileNo, filePath + fileName, write %%should work with put to
    close : fileNo

    %%check now to see if our file was created
    if File.Exists(filePath + fileName) then
          %%and yes, yes it was...
        put "It now exists!"
    end if
end if
[/code]

cheers
