I have a program that reads data from text files located in a sub folder using the following script. I should add that the folders and files are hidden. The program works correctly when installed to the hard drive on Windows XP, Win2000 and 98.

When the program is placed on a CD-ROM, the program reads the data from the text files correctly on Windows 98 but not on Windows XP and Win2000, the input fields are blank.

I changed the folders and file attributes from hidden to read only and burnt a new CD but Windows XP still does not read the data. I thought it might be a path problem but the programs run fine with hidden folders and files from the hard drive on Windows XP. I should add that I was logged in as administrator on Windows XP and 2000.

I tried programs created with Opus 2.81 and Opus 5.14. All suggestions appreciated?

(The script)
var textObj = OpenFile(SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR+"mc100-1\\mc1-1001.txt");
textObj.GotoFirstLine();
LINE_ONE=textObj.ReadLine(false);
LINE_TWO=textObj.ReadLine(false);
LINE_THREE=textObj.ReadLine(false);
LINE_FOUR=textObj.ReadLine(false);
LINE_FIVE_A=textObj.ReadLine(false);
LINE_SIX_B=textObj.ReadLine(false);
LINE_SEVEN_C=textObj.ReadLine(false);

Thanks,

As a first guess I suspect you're having a problem attempting to open a file from a read-only medium, but with the Read Only flag not set on the OpenFile().

Try changing

As to why 98 allows this I don't know - probably because it is more "stupid" than NT based versions.

Duncan,

I changed the script as you suggested (below) but it didn't make a difference.

var textObj = OpenFile(SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR+"mc100-1\\mc1-1001.txt",false,false);

Any other ideas?

This is same issue as I am having and have tried Duncans solution but does not work.

The same occurs if you make the text file read only via Windows and then try and use with publication. Opus will not open the Readonly text file.

Oh wait, it's the other way around, so it's not false, false. It is false, true.

var TextPulled = OpenFile(SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "List.txt", false, true)
while (TextPulled.EndOfFile() == false)
{
featureArray[i] = TextPulled.ReadLine();
}
TextPulled.Close();
