Robert - was your older script perhaps saved as a script bundle? In that case I think your code as listed below *would* succeed, though it would put the prefs file inside the script bundle's directly. Since there's a colon at the end, appending a filename specifies a legal path (though an odd choice of location).

Save a script as a bundle and notice that the "path to me" result refers to the root-folder of the bundle. If the script is saved as a non-bundled script, it will refer to just the file itself (no colon at the end).

When I run this snippet as part of an old script it works fine.
But when run as a new script (saved in the correct folder) I get the indicated error.


I find it odd that the file name and the script name are run together. Is that a clue? I have tried adding in a colon but that didn't help.

The old script was created in January of 2004. Has something changed?

set myPath to path to me
set myPrefs to "AwakeTimes"
read file ((myPath as string) & myPrefs)
set myData to result
myData
--> "File iMac HD:Library:Scripts:Universal Scripts:TimeTestAwakeTimes wasn't found."
