I am having some trouble with file reading in Hypertext. I have a text
file which several editors and the finder all agree contains >10K of text.
But no matter how I read it, I get nothing!
on mouseUp
open file "Test Text"
read from file "Test Text" until return
put size of it into message
close file "Test Text"
end mouseUp
this rule always gives a 0 result, even if I change the "until return" to
"for 100". I've made sure the correct directory is in my home stack
documents card, and if I take this out, I get a getfile dialog asking for
the file. So it's isn't that it cannot find the file. This is under 3.2/5.3
Any ideas?
