Hi People,
I am unable to open an existing file using the "open for access"
command. I am also unable to read an existing file by just executing
"read <path to file>" I get unexpected end of file error (-39).
I have access to 3 computers running 10.2, an iMac 600/1G ram, a
Powerbook G4 500/512M ram, and a Powerbook G4 400 382M ram, and all
three produce this error. I have had this error since upgrading to
10.2, then 10.2.1 and still there in 10.2.2. One of the computers was
upgraded over the top of 10.1, the other two were erase/installs.
Still the problem persists. Has anybody else seen this or am I alone
in this problem?
Test script....
--begin script
--watch for returns screwed by email formatting
on doesFileExist(pathToFile)
tell application "Finder"
exists alias pathToFile
end tell
end doesFileExist
on run
set theExampleFilePath to (((path to startup disk) as text) &
"Developer:Examples:About Examples.rtf")
if doesFileExist(theExampleFilePath) then
open for access theExampleFilePath
close access theExampleFilePath
end if
end run
--end script
The output is as follows:
tell current application
path to startup disk
--> alias "Mac OS X:"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
exists alias "Mac OS X:Developer:Examples:About Examples.rtf"
--> true
end tell
tell current application
open for access "Mac OS X:Developer:Examples:About Examples.rtf"
--> Duplicate file name. Mac OS X:Developer:Examples:About
Examples.rtf
