No that doesn't explain it.
So far, I don't think anyone has been able to duplicate that specific error,
with this script, but that happens sometimes and we can go on without
letting it hang everything up.
Have a look at this, paste it into script editor and run it. (Be sure to
open the log first)
----------
set StoryFile to (path to users folder as string) & "ThreePigs.txt"
log StoryFile
-- MacOSX:Users:ThreePigs.txt
set InputFile to open for access StoryFile
log InputFile
-- 276 (each run will produce a different number)
set EntireStory to read InputFile as string
close access InputFile
display dialog EntireStory
-----
set EntireStory to read StoryFile
display dialog EntireStory
_______________
Does it compile?
Does it run?
Does it display two dialogs with the correct information?
In the script you posted, the line
set InputFile to open for access file StoryFile
wouldn't compile OMM, so I removed "file" and it worked.
In general, open for access command is not needed for simply reading an
entire file. You would use that if you're reading a file a point, doing
something else, then coming back to the file to read some more.
