Re: [Gambas-user] Load hidden file to variable?
Thanks (tobi) for the help. Now i solved the problem. The is not related to gambas. String manipulation was incorrect in my program which resulted the error to look like the subject. Also i understood the power of print for debugging / tracking errors.

Re: [Gambas-user] Load hidden file to variable?
A hidden file IS hidden by default from normal views. So, the result appears to be correct. (Benoit: maybe a flag is needed for hidden files in call?) Nevertheless, LOAD ought to work with hidden files too. (Are your permissions correct) Files extensions and associations are a windoze thing and don't matter in Linux. ...and it shouldn't make a difference either what the extension is. Make sure your filename without an extension doesn't have a trailing dot because it can make things tricky and work funny to the human point of view. (especially coming from windoze world) So, in Linux: ~/.applicationtempfile/.hiddendir/file is not the same as ~/.applicationtempfile/.hiddendir/file. ==notice the trailing dot but in some versions of windoze/DOS, the two are the same file. It is especially true if you think the dot starts an extension (windoze) or if you understand the dot is just another character in the filename (Linux) Also, filenames and directories can be have spaces in their name. So 'Hello .' is a valid filename or directory name and 'Hello . ' is valid too and ' ' is also valid too so is ' ' (45 spaces, all spaces) How about this: (I'm doing this from memory..so it may be a little off on syntax) TRY search = File.Load(~/.applicationtempfile/.hiddendir/file) 'and on the next line, print the error produced PRINT Error. ===put something from Error. statement to describe the exact error. -Fernando -- Original Message --- From: sundar j sundar_...@rediffmail.com To: Jussi Lahtinen jussi.lahti...@gmail.com Cc: mailing list for gambas users gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: 2 Apr 2012 01:05:37 - Subject: Re: [Gambas-user] Load hidden file to variable?
