Windows uses the backslash as a delimiter, but Rev uses a slash internally. Some routines will require you to specify with the backslash (such as shell()), but most places where you specify a file for Rev you will need to use a slash.

Is the path delimiter in Windows a slash or a backslash?

In my script I'm using slashes (/) but I'm getting a weird error msg upon launching the Windows standalone.

Here's the stuff in the on openstack script (which is used to read/set prefs from a text file):

put the platform into theOS
  put the systemVersion into theVersion


set the itemDel to "." put item 1 of theVersion into MacOS_X_or_not set the itemDel to ","

put the filename of this stack into MyPathWay
  set itemDel to "/"

  if theOS is "MacOS" and MacOS_X_or_not >9 then
    -- OS X handles filepathways differently
    -- delete last three directories of myPathWay
          put the number of items of myPathWay into LastFolder2Delete
        put LastFolder2Delete - 3 into FirstFolder2Delete
    if item FirstFolder2Delete of myPathWay contains ".app" then
      delete item FirstFolder2Delete to LastFolder2Delete of MyPathWay
    else
      -- must be a .rev file - no problem
      delete last item of MyPathWay
    end if
       set itemDel to "," -- reSet to default deLimiter
           else -- windows or X_x
    if theOS is "Win32" then
      put the number of items of myPathWay into LastFolder2Delete
            delete last item of MyPathWay
    else
      --
    end if
        set itemDel to "," -- reSet to default deLimiter
      else --linux --later
      end if

  put MyPathWay & "/TJsettings.txt" into PathWaytoTJsettings
    answer "myPathWay = " & return &\
  myPathWay & return &\
  "PathwaytoTJsettings = " & return &\
  PathWaytoTJsettings

and the error msg reads:
The application or DLL C:\(and the pathway to the text file I'm reading preferences from with each item separated by backslash characters) is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.



I'm putting a jpg up that displays screencaps of these to clarify.

It's at: http://academics.georgiasouthern.edu/cet/SB/errorcap.jpg

Thx for any suggestions.
Steve
