Can someone please make a suggestion? Does this make since?

I'm not sure about what you want to achieve. If you want to name the new file according to the name of the original file, you could do it like this

; read file path from input
$file = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
If $file = "" Then ContinueLoop

; extract filename from full path (assuming that the file has no extension)
$filename = StringRegExpReplace($file, '.+\\(.+)', "$1")

; some code here...
;.....

; open dest file in write/overwrite mode, creating path if doesn't exist
; using flag 10 = $FO_OVERWRITE (2) + $FO_CREATEPATH (8)
$hFile = FileOpen("C:\Users\Public\Documents\BatchPlots\" & filename & "_new", 10)

FileWrite($hFile, $out)
FileClose($hFile)
