Thank you. That correctly deleted the old app. Correcting the update folder reference fixed the copy of the new app.

My Windows laptop is currently being used by grandson, please confirm that the "delete file (file ref)" will work on a Windows executable.

Tried that - same result

I am trying to replace a Mac app with a higher version. I have successfully used revCopyFile in this script elsewhere. But, here, it doesn't.t work. The if statement is true. Yes, I know there is version checking built in but I didn't do it that way. Distribution of app/exe is limited to immediate f...

Thanks. Found problem. Is working. Operator error -- looking at wrong result folder. 2 days of frustration.

I am on Sequoia 15.2, LiveCode 10.0. Both revDeleteFolder and revCopyFolder were working before 15.2. Currently in the IDE, also tried compiling. Now both IDE and .app don"t work. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Have used revDeleteFolder in the past when removing my .app to replace with a h...

Richard --

I don't have and IDE for Windows. I develop on a Mac Mini M1. Only my Windows 10 exe is failing.

How do I get the IDE for Windows ?
Can I sneaker net the Mac " dot livecode file from the Mac to the laptop ?

Hi Klaus, See above, we cannot tell you without konwing what is in your filepath in the end!? 1 - What should be in the file path at the end of that script snippet is "albumName/mp3Filepath . txt" which for i = 1 in my music album list is "Achtung! Hier Spielt Anton Karas". That txt file then gives ...

Thanks to Klaus and Axworld for their replies, especially helpful on the code marking suggestion. 1 - Files being read were created by this program and saved as UTF-8 -- that was part of my cross platform trying to save umlauts and other accent marks. This is not the issue.[/list] 2 - My issue is me...

Addendum to previous post -- & glyph displays differently in this screen but displays as the expected ampersand glyph after posting. I wish Apple and Microsoft played with the same IDENTICAL fonts. !!!

1. Yes the defaultFolder is what I expect as card 1 stays keeps track of where the app is in setting initial conditions. 2. The sample was missing {i} after dgDataOf Line -- but it was there on Apr 17. However this line failed because the stack script failed to load the dataGrid of card 5 due to the...

I hope the script snippets below explain my problem. Again it started with menuPick on the second pulldown menu on card 5 going directly to the stack script. Has morphed into a main function call (fReadFile) not working in the compiled Windows. I still check the Mac standalone app (which works) befo...
