Hello i have a simple program that opens up a text file and changes it and then what i want to do is save a text file when you click the “convert” button to the directory that the exe exists in e.g. “C:\Users\Beaudean\Desktop–Distro–” etc. so say i have a richtextbox with the text in it i want to save and a button called “convert”, when i click convert it will save it in the programs root folder with the name “main.html” and i also want it to overwrite any file with the same name. thank you very much 🙂

Dim appDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
Dim filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(appDir, "main.html")
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(filePath, text)
