trekker Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The FileOpen help file gives these options: [optional] Mode to open the file in. Can be a combination of the following: $FO_READ (0) = Read mode (default) $FO_APPEND (1) = Write mode (append to end of file) $FO_OVERWRITE (2) = Write mode (erase previous contents) $FO_CREATEPATH (8) = Create directory structure if it doesn't exist (See Remarks). and some more options. But this simple code just doesn't work: dim $hFileOpen $hFileOpen = FileOpen ( "c:testtest.txt", $FO_CREATEPATH ) If $hFileOpen = -1 Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred when creating/opening the file.") Return False EndIf FileClose($hFileOpen) Is the FO_CREATEPATH mode not implementen? Found it weird nobody on the forum ever encountered this...
funkey Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Only $FO_CREATEPATH implies $FO_READ, because of the value 0. You have to use $FO_CREATEPATH + some write mode flag. Programming today is a race between software engineers striving tobuild bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universetrying to produce bigger and better idiots.So far, the Universe is winning.
trekker Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 ok never saw a good example of the FO_CREATEPATH flag. didn't know the modes needed to be combined thanks a lot!
