| Hi Michelle,
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.
Typo; I forgot to change it. The script never got that far so it never erred there.
The fact that the script never got to the "close" statement is most likely the problem. It is leaving the file open when it errors. I will usually wrap my write statements in a try handler like this, just in case:
set the_file to (choose file name with prompt "Choose a name and location for your text file.") try set file_pointer to (open for access the_file with write permission) write "Your text here" to file_pointer on error close access file_pointer end try close access file_pointer
To get out of your current predicament, I'd suggest opening a *new* script, and just run
close access "path:to:file"
and see if that closes it. Then rewrite your write handler as above and you should be good.
HTH, Vince |
