I want to create a file say MyNotes.txt and write to it and save it. Later on I want to use Windows Notepad and read it. If this is not possible cresting a CSV file is also ok. I did find answers in this forum and in Google about CSV files but they are all bit old and all the options/component blocks they had back then do not exist now. Any help applicable for 2022 Thunkable X version would be highly appreciated. If you can kindly point me to a video that would be ideal.

The vCard part is very easy. This is my test project to save a file [https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/60a172a49d5e640011cd9947](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/60a172a49d5e640011cd9947) I’m now running the html file from web viewer. I will test running it from open link to check if it works from the mobile app.

Hi Muneer, I was trying out your file without realizing I was creating VCF in your GitHub repository as vcard1671071869715.vcf. My apologies. Please delete all of them, sorry again. How can I make it to save locally on my laptop? I would like to save it as CSV or Txt. Thanks
