Oddly, I find that LC's file I/O routines don't work with *NIX virtual
file system elements. I can use cat in shell to get those values, but
neither LC's open/read/close nor get url options for work me.
It would be helpful if you could test this on your machine and verify
what I've seen on both of my Ubuntu boxes:
on mouseUp
put "/proc/meminfo" into tFile
put url ("file:"& tFile) into t1
put the result into r1
--
open file tFile for read
put the result into r2
read from file tFile until EOF
put it into t2
close file tFile
--
put shell("cat "& tFile) into t3
put the result into r3
--
put "URL: "& t1 && r1 &cr\
& "Open: "& t2 && r2 &cr\
& "Shell: "& t3 && r3
end mouseUp
Here both of the first two values are empty, but the latter works fine.
In all three cases the result is empty, which I would expect for the
one that works but not for the two that don't.
And since you've memorized the LC code base <g>, can you guess why LC's
file I/O routines don't work on virtual file system elements the way
that nearly everything else in Linux does?
