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.

You may use :

set p2doc to path to documents folder as text

set newName to "New Note.rtf"

tell application "System Events"

make new file at end of folder p2doc with properties {name:newName}

end tell

set newFile to (p2doc & newName) as alias

tell application "TextEdit"

activate

make new document with properties {name:newName}

set text of document 1 to "This is sample text"

save document 1 in newFile

end tell

tested with TextEdit 1.8 (301) under 10.8.2
