| I'm a newbie and I'm having problems saving some data away to a new file. I've tried various things but the nearest I've got to doing this was the following:
tell application "TextEdit" set newFile to "/Users/ericrobertson/Documents/New Notes.rtf" activate make new document with properties {path:newFile} set text of document "New Notes.rtf" to "This is sample text" save document "New Notes.rtf" end tell
However although the document appears OK inTextEdit with the text included in it I get the message that I don't own the document "New Notes.rtf" and don't have permission to write to it. Do I have to set the file permissions in some way? I did try setting the name property as well as the path but this made no difference as it seemed to derive the name from just the path.
Incidentally i did find that if I just set the name property the path was set to /Users/ericrobertson/Library/Containers/com.apple.TextEdit/Data/Users/ericrobertson/Documents/New Notes.rtf.
I'm still on Lion (10.7.5) using TextEdit v1.7.1.
