read from file mfile at 1 until END


shouldn't that be

read from file mfile at 1 until eof


 ?



This script was working on a PowerPC based G4 laptop. I dropped the laptop whacking the backlight, but that is another story. I was able to import all my programs and data to a brand spanking new Intel Macbook Pro. Now this script is NOT working. THE IT variable does NOT CHANGE when I read from a file! It remains the path to the file I chose in the answer file dialog. Is read from file broken for the Intel machines??

ON mouseUp
    breakpoint
    answer file "Select the program file to import:" of type "F+PR"
    put it into mfile
    IF mfile is empty THEN exit mouseup

    put slyfilefrompath(mfile) into mshortfile
    IF char -4 of mshortfile is "." THEN
        put char 1 to -5 of mshortfile into mmodule
    END IF

    IF there is a card (mmodule) THEN
        go card (mmodule)
    ELSE
        new card
        set the name of this card to tolower(mmodule)
    END IF

    -- here is the important part
    open file mfile
    read from file mfile at 1 until END
-- at this point it still contains the result of the answer file dialog!!!!! EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!
    put it into field code
    -- close file mfile
    set the text of field "lblcode" to "Code: " & slyfilefrompath(mfile)
END mouseUp

I was able to get the URL functionality working. I used:

put "file:" & mfile into mfilepath
put url mfilepath into field code

But other programs I use depend on reading from a low level file.
