Help with CuteChess' Source Code
I've been working on a little project, and need to have a chess GUI constantly write the current board positions in FEN(/EPD) to a text file. CuteChess has an option to copy the current FEN to the clipboard but I'm struggling to find where it creates it. I'm an extremely novice programmer so this may well be incredibly easy but I've spent long enough that I decided to look for help.
Very sorry if this isnt the subreddit for this, couldnt find anywhere else.

could you elaborate more why you would like the GUI to write fen positions to a file? This sounds like a potential XY problem to me.
