We manipulate the template using RS. To keep things simple we have created a Property of type FolderItem in the App class called "MyTemplatesDirectory" We call MyTemplatesDirectory= App.ExecutableFile.Parent #If DebugBuild Then // Debug path to the templates #EndIf All is nice until we try to call the template as follows: dim TheTemplateToUse as FolderItem TheTemplateToUse=GetFolderItem(App.MyTemplatesDirectory.child("myTemplate.txt")) We get Parameters not compatible with this function. What is the proper syntax? Top JohnV Post subject: Re: GetFolderItem ConfusionPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 4:55 pm Joined: Sun Jan 28, 2007 2:38 pm Posts: 146 Figured it out... TheTemplateToUse=GetFolderItem(App.MyTemplatesDirectory.child("myTemplate.txt")) should be TheTemplateToUse=GetFolderItem(App.MyTemplatesDirectory.child("myTemplate.txt").absolutepath) Top kermit Post subject: Re: GetFolderItem ConfusionPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 4:57 pm Joined: Mon May 30, 2011 12:56 am Posts: 590 Or simpler: TheTemplateToUse=App.MyTemplatesDirectory.child("myTemplate.txt") Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
