Hi Walter-
Thanks for your help. To answer your question, I will create each text
file manually.
I've created my text document. "find.txt" as discussed and have run the
script only to get this error "End of file" @
read fref for 1 -- skip return
Here's what I'm running:
set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
set datafile to desktopPath & "find.txt"
set fref to open for access alias datafile
set folderName to read fref before return
read fref for 1 -- skip return
set fileList to every paragraph of (read fref)
close access fref
{folderName, fileList}
Any idea why I'd get that error?
Hmm... someone mentioned once about problems with before/until...
maybe this is what they were talking about.
So I guess we'll do it differently. Try this:
set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
set datafile to desktopPath & "find.txt"
set paras to read alias datafile
set folderName to paragraph 1 of paras
set fileList to paragraphs 2 thru -1 of paras
{folderName, fileList}
Better behavior?
-Walter
