SaveToFile

public bool SaveToFile(string path, string content)

• Description: Exports a CSV string to the local disk, handling folder creation and platform-specific pathing automatically.
• Workflow:
  1. Directory Integrity: Automatically extracts the directory from the path and creates it if it doesn’t exist (e.g., creating a “Saves” folder).
  2. Pathing: Defaults to Application.persistentDataPath if a relative filename is provided.
  3. Writing: Uses CanleyCSVWriter to commit the RFC 4180 compliant string to disk.
• Parameters:
  • path: The target destination path or filename.
  • content: The string content to be saved.
• Returns: bool — true if the save operation was successful.
• Example:

string myData = "Score,Date\n100,2026-04-02";
csvManager.SaveToFile("Highscores.csv", myData);

WARNING

Ensure the content string has been properly escaped using CanleyCSVWriter utilities before saving to maintain CSV standards.
