I have questions about using put URL to write to txt file locally will it create a folder if I extend the file path, the same way it creates the file if it doesn't exist? What is the proper way to put in the file path, I've seen several ways when searching for info. I was thinking of using: put fld ...

Hmm had not thought about just using a stack outside the executable to save. thanks for that Richard. One question, what folder is specialFolderPath(26). The CSIDL link given in documentation doesn't exist anymore. (This is probably the reason it no longer exists in MSDN "The CSIDL system is support...

Thank you BvG I was going to ask if you can get data from the substack if it is not visible, but I can see that you can. I just have one last question on this. I am going to program it so the fields in the substack save to a file. Since I am going to leve this substack as non visible should I put th...

I've only been using one stack for programs up to now, and now find that I want to put some preference info into a substack. in the new stack will be fields that have URL's Handlers in the original stack need to get these URL's. I'm a little confused with how to do this. Do I have to change the hand...

Very Cool Mark. Can't wait to try it out.

I'm thinking of read/writing to a text file in order to give my program save ability (only will have to save a list of URLs). I know the troubles with user rights and Program Files folder in Vista, so I was thinking of creating and writing to the file in Application Data, in My Documents folder (I k...

Keyless, Earlier I wrote: "if there is a file <filename> then". You can also use "if not (there is a file <filename>) then". Obviously, instead of filename, you can also use the complete filepath. Mark Yeah I went back to that. This is what I ended up using: repeat for each line NPath in FilePathLi...

Hi Keyless, This might help: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/104604/focus=104611 Best, Mark I'm actually quite happy with the way revcopyfile works, I just don't want to overwrite existing files. Seems to me I'd have the same issue using a different copy method like the one d...

Ok I've learned a lot trying to troubleshoot this. Here is what revCopyFile passes to cmd prompt: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C copy "C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop\001.jpg" "\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop\HERE\001.jpg" So it is in fact doing the same as I would do wit...

@ Mark 1) because I display the url in my program and allow the user to edit it manually. The wrong slash makes such editing confusing for the user and can lead to an error. 2) Perhaps you are not familiar with the Windows Copy shell command. It is designed so that files don't get copied over by oth...

A couple of things have me worried as I work on my first program, aimed at Windows OS. 1. When I use Answer Folder and store results in afield the slashes are backwards from how they shold be in Windows [C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/Desktop/Stuff] should be [C:\Documents and Settings\H...

you most likely want to look at the itemdelimiter. Adjust the following for your needs put "c:/documents/" into thePath repeat for each line theLine in fList set the itemdelimiter to "." if item -1 of theLine is among the lines of field "documents" then set the itemdelimiter to "/" rename file theL...
