Save Buffer Icon Save Buffer

With this action you can save a file containing the data from a buffer. You supply the unique buffer ID (as returned when you created the buffer with Create Buffer) and give a name for the file (as a string, with the extension of your choice) and the buffer will be written out to this file ready to be loaded again using Load Buffer.
