How to trigger a button to open "Save File Windows Explore" via JSL?

Question

I am trying to get help from community members to see that if a "Save File Windows Explore" can be triggered as below screenshot after a button-clicking event?

Is there anyone who has an idea? Thanks in advance.

It was showing that the idea should work.

Add additional prints, waits, stops and check what this does. It seemed to be working fine for me.

Names Default To Here(1);
temp_text = "aa,bb\!N1,2";
filePath = Save Text File("", temp_text);
Show(File Exists(filePath));

//replace .txt with .csv
csvPath = Substitute(filePath, ".txt", ".csv");
//If old .csv file exists remove before saving
If(File Exists(csvPath),
	Delete File(csvPath)
);

//get only csv file name
csvFileName = Word(-1, csvPath, "\/");
c = Rename File(filePath, csvFileName);
Show(File Exists(csvPath));
//Open(csvPath);

Thanks for your quick response.

But if using the way you showed me, the user is not able to save files to any name or anywhere as they want?

Something like this seemed to work fine for me:

Names Default To Here(1);
temp_text = "test text";
fileDirectory = "$TEMP/";
filename = "test";
Show(File Exists(fileDirectory||filename||".txt"));
newFilePath = Save Text File(fileDirectory||filename||".txt", temp_text);
Show(File Exists(newFilePath));
//If old .csv file exists remove before saving
If(File Exists(fileDirectory||filename||".csv"),
	Delete File(fileDirectory||filename||".csv")
);
c = Rename File(newFilePath, filename||".csv");
Show(File Exists(fileDirectory||filename||".csv"));
//Open("$TEMP/"); //run this row without first comment to open $TEMP path

Maybe adding debug writes/shows to your code can help you debug. Running script in parts might also help to see where the issue is (or using Debugger). If you have big files you also need to add wait(0) somewhere there.
