Yes, but the example you used still wouldn't work because your Temp variable holds a String! value rather than a File! value so you would still need to use TO-FILE. In most cases it would be better to just give your variable a File! value like so:
Temp: %filename.txt That way you wouldn't have to convert it but if you need your variable to be a String! for some reason, just be sure to use TO-FILE like so: write/binary to-file Temp data HTH ~~Ammon ;-> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Siegle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 9:22 AM Subject: [REBOL] Re: Directory > > Does the same hold true for write/binary? > > Example: > > Temp: "FILENAME.TXT" > > write/binary Temp data > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Joel Neely > Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 10:39 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [REBOL] Re: Directory > > > Hi, Chris, > > Chris Siegle wrote: > > Why is it I cannot make a directory from an assigned variable name? > > > > testVariable: "12312323" > > > > make-dir %testVariable > > The argument to MAKE-DIR should be a FILE! or URL! value, not a > STRING! value. > > >> ? make-dir > USAGE: > MAKE-DIR path /deep > > DESCRIPTION: > Creates the directory structure specified. > MAKE-DIR is a function value. > > ARGUMENTS: > path -- (Type: file url) > > REFINEMENTS: > /deep > > (SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES) > catch > > therefore, > > testVariable: "12312323" > make-dir to-file testVariable > > should work for you (assuming you have write permissions in the > current directory). > > -jn- > > -- > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Joel Neely joelDOTneelyATfedexDOTcom 901-263-4446 > > Enron Accountingg in a Nutshell: 1c=$0.01=($0.10)**2=(10c)**2=100c=$1 > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject. > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject. > > > -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
