How do i get this to work? Basically it asks what url to use. then writes down in a file.
to many useless coercions and the write_to_file handler must be outside the on clicked handler
The common syntax for the open and close commands is
open for access file the_file
with a path string in the_file
or
open for access the_file
with an alias in the_file
on clicked theObject
set the_file to alias ((path to library folder from user domain as text) & ".webim.ini")
set record_1 to text returned of (display dialog "What is the web adress?" default answer "http://openwebim.org/webim")
write_to_file(the_file, record_1)
set read_data to read the_file as text
end clicked
on write_to_file(the_file, the_data)
try
set file_ref to (open for access the_file with write permission)
set eof file_ref to 0
write the_data to file_ref -- Write the_data as presented.
close access file_ref
on error
try
close access the_file
end try
end try
end write_to_file
on clicked theObject
set the_file to ((path to library folder from user domain as text) & ".webim.ini")

end clicked
on write_to_file(the_file, the_data)
try

close access the_file

this line contains two useless coercions as text - as file specification (btw: file specification is outdated)
“dlib” is correct but library folder makes the script more readable
This is better code
.
set the_file to ((path to library folder from user domain as text) & ".webim.ini")
.
thanks, sorry 4got 2 post that i got it 2 work.
