    This is not possible unless you are using server side Javascript such as NodeJS where you have access to the OS environment including files and directories. If you are actually using Node, use the file system module to write to a file. nodejs.org/en/knowledge/file-system/… .. You cannot write to a file using a script ran in the browser or in the client side for security reasons. Commented Jun 7, 2021 at 5:04
