Hi Kat, can you do a print of the writefilename just before the open attempt?
Apologies if this is obvious, but its easy to have a typo of a slash intended to be a double slash etc.
Regards,
Alan
Yes, and i copy/paste the printed filename to attempt access in dos and Textpad. I observe the name in Eu's debugger. This is the relavant code block:
writefilename = "D:\\ngrams\\dbpedia\\prop3\\"&linetitle[1]&"\\"&linetitle&".txt" -- open a new one writefile = open(writefilename,"ab") -- and open a new file trace(1) junk = dir(writefilename) -- see if it actually created the file if equal(writefile,-1) then puts(1,"opening failed: \n") puts(1,"writefilename= "&writefilename&"\n") trace(1)
This is the printout, copied out of the dosbox the app puts'd it to:
Running. opening failed: writefilename= D:\ngrams\dbpedia\prop3\A\Autism.txtThis is the debugger print (using ? writefilename) of writefilename:
writefilename={68D,58:,92\,110n,103g,114r,97a,109m,115s,92\,100d,98b,112p,
101e,100d,105i,97a,92\,112p,114r,111o,112p,513,92\,65A,92\,65A,117u,116t,
105i,115s,109m,46.,116t,120x,116t}
* Press Enter to resume trace
Like i said, the filename, copy/pasted from the Eu printout to dos commands, and to TextPad's file open, work fine. useless
