Accessing User Subdirectories

[wdegler]

I used something like

File.MakeDir(File.DirRootExternal,"MyDir")

to create a subdirectory and it seems to work.
Now, how can I access it? None of the following work:

File.WriteString("MyDir","TestFile","TestString")
File.WriteString("File.DirRootExternal.MyDir","TestFile","TestString")
File.WriteString("File.DirRootExternal/MyDir","TestFile","TestString")

Similarly for Txt=File.ReadString("MyDir","TestFile") etc.

The answer is probably an obvious, yet elusive one since I see no other references to this matter. Please advise.

My guess:

File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal & "/MyDir","TestFile","TestString")

That's it!

Your guess looks like it's equivalent to one of my guesses except that mine doesn't work and yours does! Thanks!

Is this explained in a document anywhere?
