Describe the Problem
Hey is there a code to change files? For ex. If I click a button another file in my pc will open ( sorry If this question is stupid)

What have you tried so far?
I did browse through some codes but didn’t understand which one

#2

hi, i don’t quite understand what you mean by this. do you mean you want to open a prompt which allows the user to select a file, or do you want the wick project to change into another one? (i am uncertain of its possibility)

#3

i think he means that clicking a button on a wick project will open a file on the computer. for example, if i press some button, it opens a file called boringPaper.txt or something.

You can use the following script for writing to a .txt:

function download(filename, text) {
  var element = document.createElement('a');
  element.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(text));
  element.setAttribute('download', filename);

  element.style.display = 'none';
  document.body.appendChild(element);

  element.click();

  document.body.removeChild(element);
}

// Start file download.
download("file.txt","Contents go here");

And if you want to write to a .json you can use this script:

function download(filename, text) {
  var element = document.createElement('a');
  element.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(text));
  element.setAttribute('download', filename);

  element.style.display = 'none';
  document.body.appendChild(element);

  element.click();

  document.body.removeChild(element);
}

// Start file download.
download("file.json","Contents go here");

Example here: Export File.wick (2.7 KB)

in the example, they both export a txt.
