I'm simply trying to read a text file to a table. I've written the code out...it all looks good. Then I go to build it and it thinks I need to add more "=" signs.

The line of code is (ProgramFiles is declared/referenced):

Times = TextFile.ReadToTable(ProgramFiles.."\\Project\\Tex t.txt");

Just out of curiosity, how many "=" signs should I have? Am I just smoking ***** over here or is there something wrong? lol

Here's the build error with the embedded code:

==============================================

Thanks again!

I can't tell what's going on. It looks correct to me, butmaybe there is a rogue line of code somewhere above it. Can you post more of a snippet?

[Brett]

Can you provide more code so that I can see the context? It may be the line(s) before or after that code that is causing the problem.

Try -

Times = TextFile.ReadToTable( _ProgramFilesFolder.."\\Project\\Text.txt");

Edit -

The line of code is (ProgramFiles is declared/referenced):

Didn't catch that, sorry.

Re: Blah, blah...

No problem,

Here's the entire sequence:


==============================================

if (e_FSCommand == "Execute") then
LoopNumber = 1;
while (LoopNumber < 7) do
CurrentDate = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
CurrentTime = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_AMPM);
CurrentDateTime = CurrentDate.." - " CurrentTime
Times = TextFile.ReadToTable(ProgramFiles.."\\Reminder Notes\\Times.txt");
ReminderTime = Table.Remove(Times, LoopNumber);
if (CurrentTime == ReminderTime) then
ReminderNumber = TextFile.ReadToString(ProgramFiles.."\\Reminder Notes\\Reminder "..LoopNumber..".txt");
Paragraph.SetText("Paragraph", Reminder);
Window.Restore(Application.GetWndHandle());
Table.Insert(Times, LoopNumber, "X");
TextFile.WriteFromTable(ProgramFiles.."\\Reminder Notes\\Times.txt", Times, false);
TextFile.WriteFromTable(ProgramFiles.."\\Reminder Notes\\Reminder "..LoopNumber..".txt", "", false);
end
LoopNumber = LoopNumber + 1;
end
end

==============================================

I got this to work perfectly yesterday (until the back-up scenario).

This is the first time I've posted AMS5 code...it doesn't seem to be indenting it, but they're all indented properly of course.

Thanks again,

It looks like it might be this line

CurrentDateTime = CurrentDate.." - " CurrentTime

should be

CurrentDateTime = CurrentDate.." - " .. CurrentTime

[Worm]

CurrentDateTime = CurrentDate .." - " .. CurrentTime

[rhosk]

Maybe the ";" after the line -

CurrentDateTime = CurrentDate.." - " CurrentTime

[rhosk]

OK, now that we're all on the same [line] page, LOL!!

Doh!

Doh!

You guys rock! Thanks for being my eyes.

That was funny. How many people can answer the same question at the same time.?
