This seems a no-brainer but I've stalled. I'm reading names from a
text file and then creating files based on these names. I'd like to
check and see if the file already exists before creating a new one.
The text files were created in BBEdit. I unable to figure out why I
can't cause a match using my data. I've looked at the variables in
the debugger and even run charToNum comparisons ( everyone seems to
be using the ascii 10 LF.) But even though it seem like it should
match... it don't.
if tName is among the lines of tPreExisitingFiles then
-- never gets here
end if
alternately I tried
set the wholematches to true
if lineOffset(tName,tPreExisitingFiles) <> 0 then
-- never gets here
end if
Anything else I should check?
File separator issue ? (i.e. "/" vs "\" vs ":")
How is the list of files generated ? Whole path versus just the file name ?
Send a sample of the file that you read ... maybe someone will spot
something ?
or try
if there is a file "tName" then
