FM 12 adv 03 import weirdness

[ron G]

On my Mac, I have the following import script:

 

$FilePath captures a 360Works plugin file path and looks like this:

Set Variable [$FilePath; Value:SelectFile]  It works

 

 

The filename has within it the version of the program.  For example, LM889.fmp12 would represent version .889

 

When I pick a long filename (like LM889 really stupidly long file name.fmp12) the code produces a 803 error and fails to import (Even though the variable $$Path looks to be correctly constructed?)

 

803 error is "File is Single User or Host can not be found"

 

Well, it IS SINGLE USER so what is that about?

 

Here is the construction of the $$Path

 

 

I have been messing around with this for 1 1/2 days and apparently there is something I can't see.  If you can see the problem, I surely would appreciate your thoughts.

 

Thank you

 

Ron

Well, for starters, you have two "/" between Macintosh and User in $$path.

... and that was only part of the problem!  I am surprised it worked at all.

 

I needed to 'get' that FM, for both Mac and Windows needs a prefix of WInfile:, MacFile, and all the path separaters in both platforms (as far as FM is concerned) should be /.

FM does not need the "Win or Mac'" file designation. "file:" works just fine.
