WRITEBIN doesn't output to subfolders

Can't get WRITEBIN to output to a subfolder in Prime 7.0, although other write functions such as WRITETEXT will. Does anyone have a workaround for this, or is this something Prime will support in the future?

Do you mean WRITEBIN won't create the subfolder if it doesn't exist but WRITETEXT, etc will?

 

I've just tried and Prime 7's WRITEBIN will write to an existing subfolder (created using WRITETEXT).

Sorry, forgot to add the Mathcad Prime 7 worksheet.

 

It creates 4 subfolders, which I have ever so imaginatively called "A".."D".  Don't forget to delete them after you've finished with the worksheet.  🙂
