Open for access can't distinguish files differing only in their extension?


  • Subject: Open for access can't distinguish files differing only in their extension?

I have two files on the desktop:
irrA_spelling_data.txt
irrA_spelling_data.mxo

I try and open the txt file

set fPath to "Vortex:Users:tim:Desktop:irrA_spelling_data.txt"
set f to open for access fPath

-->Duplicate file name. Vortex:Users:tim:Desktop:irrA_spelling_data.txt

That shouldn't be happening: obviously there isn't a duplicate file, it is
just that open for access is failing to distinguish the two files? Anyone
got a work-around for this?

Tim
