if you use the processing ( 3.4) IDE and are in [Java] mode
and give a name “MY_SKETCH”
there will be in your SKETCH_DIR a
SKETCH_DIR/MY_SKETCH/ directory and inthere the pde file
SKETCH_DIR/MY_SKETCH/MY_SKETCH.pde

to transport that you need to copy directory and file ( like to a usb stick )
/MY_SKETCH/

I dont quite understand what you mean there. I saved as the lines of code to my desktop, the folder is there and then processing is there but i dont see .pde. I very new to this as i just started to learn it.

Are you on Windows? IIRC the default behaviour of the Windows explorer is to hide the dot extension (.pde) and only show the name. There’s a setting somewhere that changes that so you see the full name of all files.

If I understand you correctly you have what you need.
