Venix Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I did not want to have to make this topic because it sounds like such a stupid question but no matter what code i try file open just wont work for me. I have a feeling it is something to do with my computer but i wouldn't know why. I am running on windows 7 doubt that has anything to do with it and i have looked at the help file and the forums and nothing works for me. Things i have tried. $File = FileOpen("I:ProgrammingAutoIt AppsUncompiledOrders.txt",0) FileOpen("I:ProgrammingAutoIt AppsUncompiledOrders.txt",0) $File = FileOpen("Orders.txt",0) FileOpen("I:ProgrammingAutoIt AppsUncompiledOrders.txt",0) FileOpen("Orders.txt",0) I have also tried all of these codes without the 0 on the end, i have tried compiling the application and running it as an administrator. So many things i cant even think to mention them all. What retarded thing am i doing wrong? Btw I: is my USB stick Edited April 11, 2012 by Venix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 FileOpen doesn't open a file in the normal sense, as in it opens it in a text editor, it opens it and returns a file handle to be used with the other File* functions. If you want to actually open the file in a text editor, try shellexecute. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
