@sureshgoud14 please try replacing the space parameter with "appData" or "overwolf.extensions.io.enums.StorageSpace.appData"

Can you provide me a sample for overwolf.io.writeFileContents method. because overwolf.extensions.io.writeTextFile will take enum of pictures,videos & appData. If we wanna save text file in other location this writeFileContents would be useful. It is not working at my end.

@sureshgoud14, how do you call it, and what error do you get?

here is the sample code:

overwolf.io.writeFileContents(overwolf.io.paths.localAppData+“//File”,“Content”,overwolf.io.enums.eEncoding.UTF8,false,function(result){
overwolf.extensions.io.writeTextFile(overwolf.io.paths.localAppData,“Log”, JSON.stringify(result,null,2),console.log);
});

//Nothing is getting created.

@sureshgoud14 Hi,

I simplified your call in order to debug it and convert the callback to a simple console.log call.
It returns success as expected:

overwolf.io.writeFileContents(overwolf.io.paths.localAppData+"//File","Content",overwolf.io.enums.eEncoding.UTF8,false,console.log)

The above command created successfully File.txt in the overwolf.io.paths.localAppData directory. (In my case it’s C:\Users\Eran\AppData\Local)

Thank you.It is working
