LiveCode Forums.

hallo,
i want to import data from a textfile.
in livecode and in the simulator everything works fine with the followig script when i create a app for the iphone, i change the code to the following and i do copy the file hyb.txt under Standalone Application Settings / Copy Files. i only have a T-Mobile G3 (no iphone) and there the import does not work.

can anybody help me find the error in my work?

best
fred

Hi Fred,

try this:
...
put URL("file:" & specialfolderpath("engine") & "/hyb.txt") into inFile
...

specialfolderpath("engine") is the folder where the standalonebuilder will copy your files and folders to!
The same that holds the iOS standalone, thus the name

fred.
