Here's the code form the script that I'm using to read the text file:
-----------------------------
tell application "Finder"
set Media_Hole to disk "Media Black Hole"
set Pavilion to folder "pavilion" of Media_Hole
exists file "listing.txt" of folder "Pavilion" of disk "Media Black Hole"
set listing to file "listing.txt" of folder
"Pavilion" of disk "Media Black Hole"
get properties of listing
open for access file "listing.txt" of folder
"Pavilion" of disk "Media Black Hole"
get eof of result
end tell
------------------------------
If I replace the third to last line with:
There are a lot of errors. First you define
variables that are not used (Media_Hole,
Pavilion), and put lines of code for which you do
not care about the result (exists file...).
If you just want to get the eof of the file, do it fast and dirty:
try
get eof of alias "Media Black Hole:Pavilion:
listing.txt" -- note alias not file!
on error
display dialog "File Media Black Hole:Pavilion: listing.txt does not exist"
end try
Also, if you open for access a file it will be created if it does not exist>
