Re: URL Questions...

Josh,       It seems to me that the problem you have is with the answer file command.  I don't know what you are trying to do there.  If the file is always going to be in the same place, you could just do something like this.   put url "file:c:\windows\desktop\test.txt" into fld "test"   As for the web stuff, I have never used that.  It looks like it should work.  However, if you can't get it to work, try asking the Revolution list.     Also, I am working on your chat stack.  It will take a while longer than I thought it would.  I am going to have to make a server type thing.  However, I don't think it will be too hard.  I have an idea of how to do it.  It will just take time.   Scott Slaugh     ----- Original Message ----- From: Josh Dye To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 3:20 PM Subject: URL Questions... Hello,     I am tring to get a "Chat" program working. What I need Rev to do is something like this...   answer file "Open file:" with "c:\chat.txt" put url ("file:" & it) into fld "chat1"       So, I want it to open a file and put the text of that text file into a fld on command. (Or on MosueUp, if you wish...) But, I canno't get it working. Do any of you know any commands that will enable me to do that?       Remember, I don't want to have to click the file I want to open. I want Rev to open it without me having to do anything but clicking a button.       I know the second command line works, becuase, I tried opening the file manually, and it worked. It put the text of that file into that fld. But, I need it to do it without me having to click anything but the button. (Like I said earlier...)         ALSO, I want to do something like this...   get fld "ChatEnterText"     put it into url "file:\\ws1\chat.txt"       I have not tried that yet, but I hope that works. If you have any ideas on how to do that a differant way, please tell me so. Thanks!      - Josh Dye
