Fileopen return handle 0

[Greenseed]

when im trying to open a file with fileopen("c:\test.txt",1), fileopen return de handle of the file ands the handle is 0 why?

and im not able to get the file size too. i think it maybe a computer issue! but to be sure!

thx in advance for responces!

bye bye dude!

The return of 0 as I just tested it means the file isnt there.

Check to be sure you have the proper Path and Filename.

when i test it without the file there it return -1 this is the normal error code!

grrr... i juste tested it with another version of autoit and same thing! and on another computer same thing!

thx for the cue

    fileclose($_fsfhandle)
Next

the code may not work correctely with the function _filelisttoarray because i modified the original fonction to make it work better for me!

i put the code only for you can view. then im debuging each line!

0 is a valid handle... it means success. now you can fileread..() or filewrite..()

Lar.

lmao Oh... hehe. I guess I have a test.txt on my C drive :-P. I should have checked on that.

Well... I hope this solves your problem Greenseed.

fileopen with option 1 creates the file.

Oh boy! I am really really rusty at this.

Been a while for me. I have been away from the development world too long.

Perhaps it ws not a great idea to use 0 as a legal handle ...

FileList2Array() expects a path not a file or file handle.

Edit: Oops. Just looked at your code and it appears you call it properly.
