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.

Subject: 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.

Sorry, but Exist("~/.applicationtempfile/.hiddendir/file") perfectly
works on my machine, whatever the file and directories names are.
Check the file access rights !

Re: [Gambas-user] Load hidden file to variable?
Ok. Ifound out the issue where it is. It seems to be associated with file
extension. The file i want to load does not have any extension. So I created
the same file with ".txt" extension inside the same hidden directory to see the
result. This time it loaded fine and did not have an issue. However my problem
remain same as gambas could not find the file without extension. How do I
overcome this?

actually, it should, there is no difference between "normal" and hidden files.
it works for me.
maybe you messed around with the variable? try
Print File.Load("~/.applica...")
to see the content, it really should work.

Hi! Try to use User.Home instead of ~.
I.e.
File.Load(User.Home &/ "/.applicationtempfile/.hiddendir/file")
