Change path

[Amaniera]

Hi Pete!

I would like to know how, in the two lines of code I wrote, I can specify the path where I want to put the .txt file
Here is my code:
fileName = "Flight_report_" .. os.date('%d_%m_%y, %H_%M.txt')
file = io.open(fileName, "w")

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Patrice

This is rather short of content. Are you talking about a Lua plug-in for FSUIPC, or sdome other application you are writing?

As in all contexts, everywhere, the filename is not just a filename, it is a complete filepath, with is path and name, as in "C:\\MyTextFiles\\ .... .txt"). (Note the double \ needed in Lua like C C++ and other languages).
