Returns:     FileName$=the file selected by the user

SaveFileDialog shows a standard "SaveFile" dialog. The function returns the filename the user has selected.      * Title$ = the text displayed in the title bar of the dialog      * DefaultFile$ = The default file displayed in the dialog. If you specify a full path it will also open the corresponding folder in the dialog.      * Filter$ = the filter string (see below for more details).      * FilterIndex = the filter that is initially active starting from 1 to the number of filters defined. This is an optional parameter and defaults to 1 The Filter$ string allows you to limit the file types that are displayed in the dialog. A filter string looks like this "Text files (*.txt)|*.TXT". The part before the "|" character describes the filter. This part is also shown in the dialog. The part after "|" is the actual filter. In this case only files with the extension "TXT" are shown. You can combine multiple filters for one description by seperating them with a semicolon (;). For example a filter that displays files with the extension "jpg" and "jpeg" would look like this "JPEG Images|*.jpg;*.jpeg". Lastly you can combine multiple description/filter pairs with a "|" character. In order to load text files or jpeg files a filter use this filter: "Text files|*.TXT|JPEG Images|*.jpg;*.jpeg". FACTS:       * The dialog is not asynchronous, so the PlayBasic application will halt while the dialog is open.       * The dialog function returns a NULL string if no file was selected or the user selects cancel.    ; Inlcude the Dialogs library in this program   #Include "PBDialogs2"       ; Title Of the Dialog   Title$="Save A Text File"    ; Pre-seed the file name we're expecting to find   Filename$="Some Cool FIle.txt"       ;   Filter$="" ; No Filter show all files   Filter$     ="(*.TXT)|*.TXT"          ; Only TXT files ;     Filter$     ="(*.PNG)|*.PNG"          ; Only PNG files ;     Filter$     ="(*.BMP)|*.BMP"          ; Only BMP Files ;     Filter$     ="(*.Jpeg)|*.JPG"          ; Only JPG files ;     Filter$ ="(*.Images)|*.JPG;*.bmp;*.PNG;*gif"   ; Mixture of image files       ; Call the Save Dialog   File$=SaveFileDialog(Title$,Filename$,Filter$)       ; Display the Info about this file$   If FIle$=""      Print "You Selected To: Cancel Save"         Else            If FileExist(file$)         Print "You Selected To: Save Over Existing File"      Else         Print "You Selected To: Save A New File"      EndIf         EndIf      // Display the screen & wait for a key press to end   Sync   WaitKey
