Hi Takaaki
I’ve come back to this code you sent, the last line has a typo I think
bStr’s writeToFile:aTargLoc atomically:true encoding:(current application's
NSUTF8StringEncoding) |error|:(missing value)
All the other lines compile okay, but without this line I can’t run the code.
Thanks again
Alastair
