In general, no. There are lots of "maybe kind of" solutions, including trying to open for exclusive access. But there is absolutely no way, nor can there be, to know when to read a file that is being written by another app--which is what I think you're asking for--unless the other app provides some protocol for that. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
