I have questions about using put URL to write to txt file locally

will it create a folder if I extend the file path, the same way it creates the file if it doesn't exist?

What is the proper way to put in the file path, I've seen several ways when searching for info. I was thinking of using: (yes this is for a windows only app)

"put URL" will not create a folder for you. Use the "create folder" command for that.

To see how a proper file path would look like, I suggest this code in the message box: That way you'll always be sure that it is the correct one.

answer folder ""; put it

That way you'll always be sure that it is the correct one.

I did that and get : C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data

However Doesn't work

Ok figured it out, I need to add "File:" before the path.
