kee, Try using effective as in :
put the effective filename of this stack into thePath or, if you just want the path: set the itemDelimiter to "/" get item 1 to -2 of the effective filename of this stack put it into thePath if you want a terminating slash change last line to: put it & "/" into the thePath -Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of kee nethery Sent: Monday, July 04, 2005 3:12 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: path to the stack? I'm trying to create a text file that will be the prefs file for a standalone. I'm running this script on a development stack under rev 2.6 on Mac OS X 10.4.x and getting nothing back: put the filename of this stack into thePath thePath stays empty after that runs. My plan was to take this absolute path, replace the name of the stack with the name of my prefs file, and then store the prefs file in the same directory as the stack so that under all platforms it would be stored in a known location. This script above is almost exactly taken word for word from the example in the documentation shown below. put the filename of stack "My Main" into thePath 1. Why isn't this working? 2. Does anyone have a sample script for putting a prefs file in a known location that does work that I could use? 3. Will I need to watch out for a path that is inside the package contents for the standalone (if I get that far in my coding)?
