function SaveFile()
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
// Throw an arbitrary error to demonstrate the outputString method.
try
{
if (sFilename.indexOf(".") == -1)
{
throw "'File name' does not specify a file name extension.";
}
var file =
fso.OpenTextFile(sFilePath + sFilename,
FOR_WRITING, CREATE_NEW);
file.Write(sContent);

fso = file = null;
}
