I am trying to let the user select the directory they want to save a plain text file in and have the program determine the name of the file. The attempt I have made isn't working and the more I read the API, the more confused I am getting... can anyone help me?



Thank you

Thank you,

The problem lay with the char literal '\' not being added correctly.

Solved it by using "\\"

Not sure if this causes a cross platform problem?
