/*
* Save a text file locally with a filename by triggering a download

var text = "hello world",
    blob = new Blob([text], { type: 'text/plain' }),
    anchor = document.createElement('a');

anchor.download = "hello.txt";
anchor.href = (window.webkitURL || window.URL).createObjectURL(blob);
anchor.dataset.downloadurl = ['text/plain', anchor.download, anchor.href].join(':');
anchor.click();

thanks is a great solution

In the network tab of the dev tool, this URL fails: //pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/adsbygoogle.js It triggers a .txt file download. –
Anyone, please help me ....My Link

Don't forget to revoke the object URL to free the memory - they don't get garbage collected

does not work for me....

but this worked:

function download(filename, text) {
  var element = document.createElement('a');
  element.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(text));
  element.setAttribute('download', filename);

  element.style.display = 'none';
  document.body.appendChild(element);

  element.click();

  document.body.removeChild(element);
}

// Start file download.
download("hello.txt","This is the content of my file :)");

Great! It worked with Google Chrome 78.0.3904.97.
Thank you so much!
