REVers,
Using Revolution, I've created a main stack that reads from and writes to an external preferences text file entitled "TJsettings.txt".
In the stack script (on openstack) starts with:
put the filename of this stack into MyPathWay repeat until the last char of myPathWay is "/" delete last char of MyPathWay end repeat
put myPathWay & "TJsettings.txt" into MyPathWay
answer myPathway --"BUG TEST" line
open file MyPathWay
read from file MyPathWay until EOF put it into TheSettings
put theSettings into fld "settings"
--------- then I'll pull info from fld setting to reset preferences
Only thing is-- it's not working...
The "BUG TEST" line results in "Users/steve/Desktop/JeopardyQs/TJsettings.txt" which
is accurate. But nothing is appearing in the fld "settings"
Any advice?
The Subject line suggests the app is hanging - while the description sounds like it completes, just fails to get anything into the field.
So I'm not quite sure if this will help, but ...
open file MyPathWay
put "Result from open = " && the result & cr after msg
read from file MyPathWay until EOF put it into TheSettings
put "Result after read = " && the result & cr after msg
put theSettings into fld "settings"
btw - did you include a "close MyPathWay" ? Is it possible that the file was already open and had reached EOF ?
(I'm not sure what happens when you "open" a file that is already still open ....)
Alternatively, try
put URL ("file:" & MyPathWay") into TheSettings
instead of the open and the read.-- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net
