Tim,
Thanks for the head's up!
If all you want to do is check the existence of a file, ever think of using "If there is a file tFilePath then" instead of "open file tFilePath for read"? This way you don't have to worry about changes in the engine.
Just a thought...

Hello listers!
I just got burned by a change made sometime after vers 1.1.1, and I thought I'd pass it along.
In some parts of my app, I use "Open File for Read" and check the result for "Can't open that file."...therefore determining if a file exists or not. Well...somewhere a change was made from "Can't open that file." to "can't open that file". Note the subtle differences...the leading char is now lower case (probably NOT a problem) BUT... the "." at the end is gone!
My workround (because I'm still straddling 1.1.1 and 2.0.3 in my development for EXACTLY this reason) will be to use:
if the result contains "can't open that file" then....
Hmmm...wondering what else changed...
Best Regards and Happy Thanksgiving to all from beautiful Ohio Amish country!
