Came across a weird behavior and want to know if anyone else has encountered this and how to solve this (mac & V13.6 & v15) I use a document (“StoreHere.txt") in the Resources folder to store some data in it, to be used later.
After using the command Export Text, the document is ‘updated’ allright BUT there is a .temp file with a long filename (“07B29AA87F90481387491D4EEF206BB6.temp”) ALSO created in that Resource folder. But this is not wanted because every time the export is performed a new file with long name is created !! It does this ONLY with High Sierra (10.13.4), none of the previous mac os X has this (I tested this). (fyi: 4D v15 & up do not exhibit this behavior with os 10.13.4 ) Have a test db V13.6 with 1 table and 1 or 2 fields (doesn’t matter how many) and 2 or more records. I use one LongInt and one Text field. then make a method that I can call using a button on the layout. this is the method: C_TEXT($sDocName) $sDocName:=Get 4D folder(Current Resources folder)+"StoreHere.txt” ALL RECORDS([Table_1]) ORDER BY([Table_1];[Table_1]seqNo;>) FORM SET OUTPUT([Table_1];"export") EXPORT TEXT([Table_1];$sDocName) FORM SET OUTPUT([Table_1];"output") Any input on this is very welcome.
