I've run into a bit of a head scratching problem with saving files that maybe someone can help me sort out. My code:
on SaveTheFile ask file "Save project as:" with filter "MYFL file,*.myfl" if it <> "" then put it into tfile put fld "save list" into tFiletoSave put tFileToSave into url ("file:" & tfile & ".myfl") else exit to top end if end SaveTheFile The file saves exactly as expected *if* there isn't a file with the same name. Example from code above, the filename written would be: myfilename.myfl If there is a file with the same name, it correctly asks if I want to replace it, but when I click yes, instead of overwriting the file properly, it still creates a new file, but with the extension doubled up, as in: myfilename.myfl.myfl The other ways I've tried to code it, it still does the "do you want to replace" routine and will overwrite the file without doubling up on the extension, *but* it won't automatically add the proper extension to a new file. Nothing unusual or special needed. All I'm looking for is to have it write a new file with the proper extension automatically added -or- to correctly overwrite an existing file, especially without doubling up the preferred extension. I've read the documentation and tried it so many different ways now, that I'm confused to the point that I'm unsure what to try next... This is the last "little problem" to solve in order to complete a pretty large project, so I would sincerely appreciate any help you can send my way!
