Adrian,
<SOAPBOX state='mount'>
Before we go any further, if you're going to get MEANINGFUL help from
this forum, you've got to be much more specific when you ask a question
or show a code segment. For example:
-- function
getPathToFile pFile
put the filename of this stack into theFile --removed unwanted
'the' from your original
set the itemdelimiter to slash
put pFile into the last item of theFile
return theFile
getPathToFile
--end function
is NOT a function definition! You've written it as if it was going to
be executed as inline code. The fact that it might actually do it
doesn't matter (in fact, this should throw an error because the
"getPathToFile" is never DEFINED as a function. Why would you not write
the above the way I did, i.e.,
FUNCTION getPathToFile pFile
....
end FUNCTION
??? It uses fewer characters and is the syntacticly correct way to
write rev code. The way you have written it, it appears you call
getPathToFile with an argument of pFile, then execute 4 statements, then
call getPathToFile AGAIN with no arguments. The '--function' and '--end
function' are shown as comments. It's only because I wrote the original
code (well, actually copied the code from something Trevor wrote) that I
know you're trying to define a function. Many other people that might
have far better answers than mine (Trevor's) might just skip your
message because it makes no sense.
</SOAPBOX>
Since there is a space in the filename, it interprets what you pass as
TWO arguments when you've defined (hopefully) only a single argument.
If you are going to "hardcode" the filename as you've shown below...
--Use the function
put getPathFile(My App.exe) into tFile
launch tFile
... then you have to put the filename in quotes so that it will be
interpreted as a single argument. You call to the function should be:
put getPathToFile("My App.exe") into tFile
or I believe if you wanted a more generic solution:
put "My Multiword App Name.exe" into tFilename
put getPathToFile(tFilename)
would work.
Sorry if it seemed like I was going off on you (I'm having a little
difficulty with my 13 year old daughter doing what she is told and
you're getting the heat for it :-( ) but I think you will find a lot
more help here if you tell/show EXACTLY what you are doing that isn't
working instead of trying to simplify things for us. It only makes the
problem worse. You don't need to include ALL of your code, only the
parts that aren't working or are relevant to that code.
