As per your request, here is the copy of my code where the program
err's out. I'm working with Mac
OSX. If I step through, it does, indeed, get to the exception
handling. However, as I stated earlier, it
comes to a screeching halt at the indicated line, like it is trying to
actually read from the file.
===========================================
if file <>nil then 'is the file empty?
filereadfrom=file.OpenAsTextFile 'open as a text file
do
nameholding = filereadfrom.readline <------err's at this point
There are many situations that OpenAsTextFile will fail: 1) The file
does not exist (check for File.Exists), 2) You don't have permissions
to read the file, 3) The file is open for writing by either you or
another process. You should add a check for "filereadfrom" being nil.
