How can i save a javascript string variable into a file

Question

I want to save a javascript string variable into a .txt file by clicking on save button. By clicking on save button it should open a prompt where the user can enter the filename and able to save that file in any location in local pc.

So how can i do this?

I think you cannot save that file in any location in local pc. I think you can only write to the sandboxed filesystem — Olivier Boissé

You can do it as

Save javascript string into a variable
Create a new file using js and assign that file name using that variable string
close the file.

By this I can create only one file, if I want create multiple files then I have perform multiple file operations, instead of that by clicking on save it should open an save prompt where user can be able to give different name to the file and able to save it in any location in local pc. So how this can be done?]

Well I don't understand what exactly you want to built..! You can use bootstrap modal and use text field in it where you can enter file name etc etc.. and on save you can perform operations.
