Hi

I'm having a difficult time using a scripted pathname using a SYSTEM_DOCUMENTS_DIR in it.
The script used looks like:

OpenFile(SYSTEM_DOCUMENTS_DIR + "xyzfolder\\abcd.txt")

It won't fetch the data.

If I substitute

OpenFile("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\xyzfolder\\abcd.txt"), the actual current pathname, it works fine.

I wonder what I'm doing incorrectly. I'd like to get the script working using the System variable for the administrator/viewer's document directory, as different viewers can have different pathnames to it.

I would appreciate any help.

Kind Regards,
Stephen

Should be:

OpenFile(SYSTEM_DOCUMENTS_DIR + "\\xyzfolder\\abcd.txt")

At least I've tried it that way and it works for me.

Hi

Yes, that works in this script.

However, when I use the same syntax in another, FileExists, it won't work properly:

if (FileExists (SYSTEM_DOCUMENTS_DIR "\\xyzfolder\\abcd.txt"))...etc.

This FileExist script worked perfectly when it looked like:

if (FileExists ("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\xyzfolder\\abcd.txt"))
{Button_8.Enable(true)
}
else
{Button_8.Enable(false)
var buttonstate="yes"
}

So now I have to solve this companion script which won't work using the System variable.

I would appreciate any ideas.

Kind Regards,

Hi

I found the issue preventing the script from working:

forgot the +. It should be:

if (FileExists (SYSTEM_DOCUMENTS_DIR + "\\xyzfolder\\abcd.txt"))...etc.

Once corrected, it works OK.

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,
Stephen
