Re: Open for access with write permission

Hi Michelle,

set UserFile to choose file with prompt "Please choose the dictionary file to add the words to."

set fileRef to open for access UserFile with write permission

-->  "File file Dora:Users:michelle:Desktop:en is already open."

set eof of fileRef to (get eof of fileRef) + 1
write additions to fileRef
close access bar

Why are you opening into fileRef, but closing bar? They should be the same variable.

If I put a close access statement right before the open access statement, I get an error saying that the file isn't open. 

How exactly are you using the close access command?

This should work:

set UserFile to choose file with prompt "Please choose the dictionary file to add the words to."
try
close access UserFile
end try
set fileRef to open for access UserFile with write permission
write additions to fileRef
close access fileRef

But this won't work:

set UserFile to choose file with prompt "Please choose the dictionary file to add the words to."
set fileRef to open for access UserFile with write permission
close access fileRef
write additions to fileRef
close access bar

And this:

set fileRef to open for access UserFile with write permission

I don't think is necessary. I thing "write" automatically starts at the next byte, not overwriting the last one.

Tom
