I need to make something like this:

;ReadFile(#FileModel , "Dades\" && Marca$ && ".txt")

Marca is a variable selected by a ComboBoxGadget.

Anyone can sayme the correct way to make it??

Perhaps

Code: Select all

ReadFile(#File, "Dades" + marca$ + ".txt")

Have you got a "/" in there somewhere?

If I suspect problems with paths I construct it in a variable, eg,

fp.s = path+file

then check it using...

debug ">"+fp+"<"

and then it should be clear where the problem is.

Remember the slash after the folder name:

;ReadFile(#FileModel , "Dades\" && Marca$ && ".txt")

becomes:

Code: Select all

marca$ = "alcatel"
;or marca$ = "nokia"
;or marca$ = "sony"
ReadFile(#FileModel, "Dades\" + marca$ + ".txt")
