I just came up with this idea as an app... you have a text field, and a save button... when you type something in the field and click save, it saves it to a txt file on your desktop
any ideas? thanks

Hi Freddu1,
Welcome to the forum.
put this script into a save button
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/" into tPathToMyDeskTop
put tPathToMyDeskTop & "mySavedField.txt" into tPathToMyFile
put "file:" & tPathToMyFile into tURL
put field 1 into tMyText
if tMyText is not empty then
put tMyText into URL tURL
answer "Your Text is saved to the desktop"
else
answer "Nothing in the field to save"
end if
end mouseUp
You might want to look up URL in the dictionary, also specialfolderpath.
This should get you started
regards
Bernd
