Thanks David! I copy-pasted the code from my editor.

This code is a part of the one that uses weather API. When I call, it returns me number of bulk values with current weather forecasts. One of values is a state (e.g. 'colorado/us'). I know that I can`t create file because of '/' in 'colorado/us'. But maybe is there some way to avoid removing or replacing slash in 'state'?

My fault - I should give more information on this in my first message
