Saving scripts from PASTEBIN.com in txt, failed to load. how to save?

I've been trying to save scripts from pastebin with no success.

Downloading the file directly doesn't work. it just failed to load.
if i copy and paste the text from PASTEBIN in notepad and save as txt, doesn't work either.

what's the proper way for saving th script?

Use an editor that can handle (and show) both Linux-style (LF) and DOS (CR+LF) line endings (ex. Notepad++)
Note that almost all files in CHDK source use LF-only style.

A little more details about what does not work would be helpful here.  Are you having problems making and editing script files on your PC, are you having trouble transferring them to your camera or do the scripts fail to run once you load them on your camera ?

If the problem is running them on your camera,  be aware that the file extension of the script is important if you are trying to save LUA scripts.  It needs to be .LUA.  Anything else is considered by CHDK to be a uBASIC script.  Trying to run LUA as uBASIC does not work.

Select ANSI coding, NOT UTF8 or Unicode...

Edit:
I suggest to use pastebin's "RAW" link, then copy & paste the script content into the editor.

its a LUA script located in PASTEBIN.com. all i'm doing is saving the file.

it has the lua extension on the file, but it fails to load.

the question is, how do i transfer the text content and make it a LUA script, since
the original TXT is not in LUA format.
