So I made a notepad clone in python but I am stuck. I want to change the doNothing() Function to be a Save function. I want the user to be able to name the file he wrote in the program and save it where he wants.

from tkinter import *

# ********** Functions **********
def doNothing():
print("Ok, i won't!")

# ********** TK Initialization **********
root = Tk()
# ********** Main Menu **********
menu = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menu)

subMenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=subMenu)
subMenu.add_command(label="New", command=doNothing)
subMenu.add_command(label="Open...", command=doNothing)
subMenu.add_command(label="Save", command=doNothing)
subMenu.add_command(label="Save As...", command=doNothing)
subMenu.add_separator()
subMenu.add_command(label="Page Setup...", command=doNothing)
subMenu.add_command(label="Print...", command=doNothing)
subMenu.add_separator()
subMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)

editMenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="Edit", menu=editMenu)
editMenu.add_command(label="Undo", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_separator()
editMenu.add_command(label="Cut", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_command(label="Copy", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_command(label="Paste", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_command(label="Delete", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_separator()
editMenu.add_command(label="Find...", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_command(label="Find Next", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_command(label="Replace...", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_command(label="Go To...", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_separator()
editMenu.add_command(label="Select All", command=doNothing)
editMenu.add_command(label="Time/Date", command=doNothing)

FormatMenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="Format", menu=FormatMenu)
FormatMenu.add_command(label="Word Wrap", command=doNothing)
FormatMenu.add_command(label="Font...", command=doNothing)

ViewMenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="View", menu=ViewMenu)
ViewMenu.add_command(label="Status Bar", command=doNothing)

HelpMenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=HelpMenu)
HelpMenu.add_command(label="View Help", command=doNothing)
HelpMenu.add_separator()
HelpMenu.add_command(label="About Editor", command=doNothing)

AboutMenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="About", menu=AboutMenu)
AboutMenu.add_command(label="About the Developer", command=doNothing)
AboutMenu.add_separator()
AboutMenu.add_command(label="FK YOALL", command=doNothing)



# ********** Status Bar **********
status = Label(root, text="Preparing to do nothing...", bd=1, relief=SUNKEN, 
anchor=W)
status.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

# ********** Text Area **********
text = Text(root, height=100, width=200)
text.pack()

# ********** Window Properties **********
root.maxsize(width=800, height=680)
root.minsize(width=666, height=666)
root.title('Text Editor')
root.mainloop()

There are three steps that you have to implement:

  1. Retrieve the text inside your Text widget. You can do this with the Text.get method.
  2. Prompt the user for a path where the text file is to be saved. You can do this with tkinter function filedialog.asksaveasfilename.
  3. Write a text file with the text from step 1 and the path from step 2. See here for a simple example.

You can use os.system(command) importing the library os to create, rename or move files like batch. In command you need to put the batch command. To learn batch, see this
