Are you testing from Classic in OS X or have you booted into OS 9? I have found some problems reading files while running in Classic. It all seems to work fine when really in OS 9 but I don't know why.

Cheers,

Hi Folks,

I am a little lost trying to read a text file in classic enviroment. First I set the default folder to the stack folder, then I use a simple:

put pArray into URL tPath

where pArray is a combined array and tPath is in the format "file:myApp prefs". This works fine, it writes the file ok, and the content is right.
the trouble is trying to read the file. I use:


get URL "file:myApp prefs"

This works fine in MacOS X 10.3.4... no problem, it saves the file inside the bundle and load from there without any problem. Then I build the software to Mac Classic, it saves the file okay, but when I try to read the file it returns empty!!! the file is there, the content is right and it works on 10.3.4. I'll glue the routines below. I'll be very happy if anyone can spot this one out. I have a nice blogger client here, the xml-rpc routines working, the xml parsing working, and bugs on the silly preference system, man, so many places to be in trouble...

also take notice that if the loadPrefs function cannot find the file it will return empty after showing "no content"... thats not the case, it's returning empty content but the file is there. It's like reading an empty file. This code works fine in 10.3.4

my poor man's preference file system:
