hi everybody,
i would like to know how to use the "save text" correctly. i understand how to connect
the primitive's inputs, but i don't understand how to connect the output (witch says "trigger sent when done")
thanks in advance :D

a trigger will be send to the output if your "save text" action was successfull.
in case it was NOT successfull (e.g. when no path is given), there will be no trigger sent to the output. ;)

thanks for the fast reply, philter5 .
but i don't understand how this primitive's output should be connected ("trigger sent when done")
or maybe, it shouldn't at all and it just saves the file in the chosen folder? i mean, there is
no need to use any other primitive with that to make it work?

edit-

problem solved. this primitive works without connecting the output. just connect the inputs (input the text, file
name and location, give it an input trigger and it will save the text file).

There are various ways in which you can define file path.

Trigger nodes (done, cancel, etc) are usually used either to block something during operations or to confirm something after such operations are finished.

This is the simple way.
