Re: Using Applescript to save a text file?

Why would it work. You're trying to open a string.

> set my_log to "This file can not be opened by this program. Please try another
format. Thank You!"
>open for access my_log

'open for access' requires a file path to open. You then write to the file:

set my_log to "here's the message to write to the file"
set my_log_file to open for access file "path:to:log:file.txt" with write
permission -- this opens the file
write my_log to my_log_file starting at EOF -- append to the end
close access my_log_file -- close the file when you're done
