Unwanted Comma in output file name


  • Subject: Unwanted Comma in output file name
  • From: Gary Lists <email@hidden>

I am writing out a text file and I keep getting a "," prepended to the name.

Here is the call:

set oPath to ((path to desktop) & "output.html")
my writeOut(thePage, oPath, false)

and here is the handler:

on writeOut(this_data, target_file, append_data)
try
set the target_file to the target_file as text
set the open_target_file to ,
open for access file target_file with write permission
if append_data is false then ,
set eof of the open_target_file to 0
write this_data to the open_target_file starting at eof
close access the open_target_file
return true
on error
try
close access file target_file
end try
return false
end try
end writeOut


and here is the file name that is written (the file is fine):

,output.html


I have been over the handler and looked at the construction of the variable
'thePage' and I can't suppress the comma.

Do any of you see anything that I am botching?

Thanks
