(I no longer report them the the bug reporter as I have zero luck.) Ice Drive is a cloud storage service that allows you to use a local drive letter in Windows. A free account is available from https://icedrive.net/apps/desktop-laptop The following will only open a blank file, regardless of what you then write to it. The second time you run your program and the file already exists, it will work properly: if not FileExists( $WanIpFileName ) { $WanIpFileName.IO.open(:w); spurt "$WanIpFileName", "New File Opened"; } Then if you write to the file, nothing goes into the file. But when you run the program a second time, all is well. Note that the blank file already exists the second time through. The work around: I wrote the following sub to deal with Raku not being able to handle quotes properly when trying to run a windows helper program. my $PathIAm = $?FILE; $PathIAm ~~ s:global| '/' |\\|; sub RunCmd( Str $CommandStr, Bool $EchoOff = False ) { my Str $BatFile = $PathIAm ~ ".bat"; my Str $RtnStr; my Str $CmdStr = ""; if $EchoOff { $CmdStr = Q[@echo off] ~ "\n"; } $CmdStr = $CmdStr ~ $CommandStr ~ "\n"; # print "$CmdStr\n"; spurt( $BatFile, $CmdStr ); $RtnStr = qqx { $BatFile }; # print "$RtnStr\n"; } RunCmd Q[echo New File Opened > ] ~ $WanIpFileName; And happy camping returns. I can write anything I want to the file after that and it takes. -T
