The source of my extreme bafflement is the code snippet below. I believe this is the proper way to read text from a file and have it accessible in a text field, but I don't see any sign that the file read has occured, and defintely don't get the text in my field.


The first two lines are commented out, previous attempts; the current attempt is the last two lines. None of them have worked.

--put URL "file:~/Desktop/radmindgui/ps_output" into field theOutput
--set the text of field theOutput to the text of URL "file:/etc/bashrc"
put "/Users/guest/Desktop/radmindgui/ps_output" into theFile
get the fifth line of URL "file:/Users/guest/Desktop/radmindgui/ps_output"
put it into field theOutput

I tried this with an http URL, and it worked fine. The files in question have been checked for the proper permissions (world-readable). I even tried creating a new stack and testing the code in there. Don't see any clues from previous posts to the list.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mike H
