I am completely baffled by this.
OK I have a script in an app that looks for three files in a folder.
EG master folder called armbase with an app called armbase.exe
in folder armbase ther eis a folder called components.
Within the folder called components ar ethe three files I want to
access. One is called armbase.txt one called armbase.xdf and another
called PDATconc.exe (I run PDATconv.exe from the shell command.
OK here is the problem.
If my script points to the full path eg in this case
snip
Then the script works fine.
However if I use truncated versions (what I think of as relative
paths) the app does not run the externals.
snip
I thought that if the folder was in the same directory as the app then
it would work. I need this to work because it would save lots of
problems with running multiple versions.
Hi Bob,
However I tend not to reply on relative paths and use the full file
path in nearly all cases. In order to make this work regardless of
where the app is, I find the application's folder and use it to
construct the full path e.g.
put myAppsFolder() & "\Components\PDATconv.exe" into tPath
To get your app's folder, get the filename of the main stack, set the
itemDel to "/" and delete the last item.
If you are sending the result to the Windows shell, you will then need
to replace "/" with "\".
HTH,
Sarah
