SaveFileDialog function

Contents

SaveFileDialog returns the string of the path the user has selected using the save file dialog.

The filter extensions are a paired string separated by a |.

So "Text Files|*.txt" would display Text Files and show only files ending with .txt.

For multiple extensions for the same display name use a semi colon as in the example below.

"Text Files|*.txt;*.csv"

You can set multiple filters such as:

"Text Files|*.txt|CSV Files|*.csv"

Syntax:
completeFilePath = SaveFileDialog( , , )

Parameter:	Description:
[filterExtension]	Optional: This is for filter extensions, like .exe, .txt or .csv
[fileName]	Optional: Use this field for the file name to find.
[startPath]	Optional: Use the path field to specify where the dialog will open a disk location.

Example:
PRINT OpenFileDialog( "Text Files\|.txt;.csv", _ "orders.txt", fileManager.DefaultFolder ) PRINT SaveFileDialog( "Text Files\|.txt;.csv", _ "orders.txt", fileManager.DefaultFolder )
Returns:
A string containing the complete path the user selected

Example:

PRINT OpenFileDialog( "Text Files|*.txt;*.csv", _

"orders.txt", fileManager.DefaultFolder )

PRINT SaveFileDialog( "Text Files|*.txt;*.csv", _

"orders.txt", fileManager.DefaultFolder )

A string containing the complete path the user selected
