# Issues saving CSV with GEE Code Editor

Asked by ashley4314 on 2018-03-20

Hi there,

I have been working on a project for some time now, involving this code editor:
https://code.earthengine.google.com/c4a9f26e3b2242fca5571750531da1cc

I have been using a Fusion table/asset to create grid plots around a specific study area using a polygon shapefile that I imported into my Assets. Previously, I had no issues saving the CSV file that the script generates into my Google Drive account. However, today I went to save the file and keep getting an error message (Drive file name may contain alphanumeric characters, dashes and spaces.), no matter how I name the file, and even leaving the Drive folder name blank. The link at the end of the lower left input box once I Generate Grids has not worked for some time. Thus, I have no way to save the file and import it into Collect Earth for my image analysis.

See below for a link to my previous question as well.

Please advise if I am doing something wrong, or maybe the script needs to be fixed?

Thank you!!

The problem was the backslash in the filename (backslashes are not allowed characters )

Easy to fix, just remove the backslash!

In any case, I have modified the script so that the names do not contain any non-standard characters!!
