Turing program that creates a .txt file

[NotNemesis]

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 Dan's "How to read and write to a file in Turing" but that's only for reading and writing a file that exists.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

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

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

cheers
