Saving user modifications to Table Data

[trags3]

Hi Simon,

Are you reading the text file to see if the info is correct each time you change it? (make sure you close it so it can be written to).

The "url("file:" xyz) syntax does ecactly this in a one-liner:
...
open file xyz for read
read from file xyz ...
close file xyz...
...

Klaus, Ans Simon,
Give me about 30 min and I will post the relevant cards of the stack.

I guess I don't quite understand the syntax.

Hi Tom,
I copied your specialFolderPath stuff from the above posting and it didn't work!
Not sure why... it reads correctly.
So I redid it by hand

Code: Select all

  if there is not a directory (specialFolderPath("documents") & "/sellnet") then
      create folder (specialFolderPath("documents") & "/sellnet") 
   end if
   set the defaultFolder to (specialFolderPath("documents") & "/sellnet") 

Now it works!

On the desktop are you getting a folder called sellnet in your Documents folder?

weeeee found it!
create folder (specialFolderPath("documents") & "/sellnet")
NOT create folder (specialFolderPath("documents" & "/sellnet"))
Yahoo!
