Does the single-liner approach also allow one to cope with not being able to open the file in the first place? Maybe I'm too wedded to traditional methods? Test if opening the stream worked, decide what to do if it failed, then if it worked go on to read/write the data, finally close it. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
