me in OSX...
if there is a file "1-meet data/ABC affils" then put "found"
But the following does not?
on mouseUp
-- "1-meet data" is the folder containing the file I'd like to copy.
-- "2-processed meet data" is the folder I'd like to copy to.
--Both folders are in the defaultFolder.
--"ABC affils" is the name of a .txt file
revCopyFile "1-meet data/ABC affils", "2-processed meet data"
end mouseUp
The file does not get copied and the result is "execution error."
The fact that the first code fragment works suggests I have the
file path
right. But revCopy File disagrees.
"there is a file" allows relative file paths and will search in the
defaultFolder.
revCopyFile requires a complete file path, including the folder. This
is because it actually calls an AppleScript (on OS X) to do the file
copying.
As a tip, I always use the full path when referring to files and
folders, I never rely on the default folder or any of the Revolution
quirks. This is useful since RunRev is not consistent in terms of
what type of file specification is given to internal functions (but
they all accept a full path string) and also it's much easier to
debug with full paths, since you can easily copy and paste the fill
path string into other applications, e.g. terminal.
Hope this helps
Dave
