How do I save a txt file inside a different folder within the project?

Suppose I have a folder named "Games".

When I use this code it will save it in the debug folder.

FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream("Games.txt", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(outputFileStream);

writer.WriteLine(textBox1.Text);

writer.Close();
outputFileStream.Close();

I would like to save it somewhere inside the Games folder instead. How would I do that?

Just pointing the first argument with your path file. Let's say, you want to save into:

"C:\Another Folder\Games.txt".

You could try this code:

string pathFile = @"c:\Another Folder\Games.txt";

FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(pathFile, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write);

Make sure you have "Another Folder" in drive C. Thanks.

Instead of simply putting the filename - "Games.txt"

you can append it to a folder inside your working directory - "Games\\Games.txt",

or an absolute filename path (not recommended) - "C:\\Games\\Games.txt"

You can provide the absolute or relative path along with the filename as follows...

FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream("C:\Games\Games.txt", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write);

or

FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(@"..\Games.txt", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write);

Good Luck!
