Hi. I have copied the ReadDirectory() example from the Hollywood guide into a blank test document called rdir.hws.

Code: Select all

f$ = ()
d$ = ()
ReadDriectory("SYS:",f$,d$)
WaitLeftMouse()

When attempting to compile the script I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Unexpected symbol!
File: rdir.hws (current line: 1)

Why isn't this working?

f and d are tables. Tables are inited with {} not () -- Robin - http://my.morphosi.net/
