Folks:
I’m having a very weird problem writing then reading the same file on ios. I
must be missing something very basic. I’ve checked the path to the file when it
is written and it matches exactly to the path when I try to read it. In the
read routine, I check for the file’s existence and it says it doesn’t. But when
I write the file and immediately check for the file’s existence (in the same
handler), it says it exists. I’ve checked the path with the debugger and the
path it writes to is exactly the same as the path it looks for the file in.
I must be missing something very basic. It works on my dev system, but in the
phone, it can’t find the files it just wrote. Is there some kind of permission
needed? I’m stumped.
Please enlighten me. There must be some really, really basic thing I’m missing.
Thanks,
Bill
--retrieves an arbitrary array from the waterdetective local storage folder
function getArrayFromLocal fName
put getPathToUserDocuments() into tFloc
put tFloc&"/"&"waterdetective/"&fName into tFile
if the last char of tFile is cr then
delete the last char of tFile
end if
—It can’t find the file I just wrote
if there is a file tFile then
put URL ("binfile:"&tFile) into temp
put base64decode(temp) into temp

if the last char of fName is cr then
delete the last char of fName

put tFolder&"/"&fName into tDataFile
delete file tDataFile
put arrayEncode(tArray) into temp
put base64encode(temp) into tData
put tData into URL ("binfile:"&tDataFile)
wait 2 seconds
if there is a file tDataFile then
put "Yes" into x —on ios I get “Yes"
put tDataFile into theLocalPath
else
put "No" into x
end if
end saveArrayToLocal
