RE: File Not Found

Question

Hi,

Is there any way I could open the file without specifying the prefix path? In one of my scripts when I type Open(filename.jmp) it works, but doesn't when I try and open it from a window in the follwing example, any idea as to why? I  keep getting the error with a \ in front of the file name for some reason? If I specify the full path for the file it works, but I need it to work when only the file name is provided.

OKScript = Expr(
	win1 << CloseWindow;
	lf = ListF << GetItems;
	If( N Items( lf ) < 1,
		Warning( "ERROR: You need to select at least one file" );
		Throw();
	);  
	For( i = 1, i <= N Items( lf ), i++,
	print(lf[i]); 
	dt=Open(lf[i]); 
	); 
	);
);

Also tried the following which doesn't seem to be working:

dt = Open("123456700000.csv");
path = Arg(dt << get property("Source"), 1);
print("path: " || Arg(dt << get property("Source"), 1));

Again, it prints the name of the file with a \ instead of the file path.

I'm experimenting with get path now.

I read up and realised I was using the wrong function so tried convert file path instead. This works sometimes but not other times. For example in my program I have a file called "Test 1 PFD.jmp" and when I print the convert file path of "Test 1 PFD.jmp" it returns "/Test 1 PFD.jmp" in the log, instead of the full file path.
