[wtf?!?] Existing file not found by SmokingCookie on 08-24-2008 at 03:53 PM
Hi,
I have a problem with the XML DOM object:
code:
Print(" Retrieving windows from \"" + strXmlPath + "\"",PRIOR_SPACE);
var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
if(FileExists(strXmlPath)) {
if(xml.load(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\" + strXmlPath)) {
[some code] } else {
Print(xml.parseError.reason,PRIOR_ERROR);
}
} else {
Print("Could not find \"" + strXmlPath + "\"",PRIOR_IMPORTANT);
}
xml = null;
Print(" Retrieved windows",PRIOR_SPACE);
},
parseError.reason says "The system cannot locate the resource specified.", yet FileExists() returns true..
Is there anyone who has (had) this problem too (or better yet: anyone who has the solution)?
EDIT::
Don't mention the Print() function, it's the same as Debug.Trace();

have you tried just
if(xml.load(strXmlPath))
since it found it there, shouldn't THAT be where it is?
RE: [wtf?!?] Existing file not found by SmokingCookie on 08-24-2008 at 04:04 PM
No, I only send the file name to the function
EDIT::
In the meantime, I've figured some other method to load the file.
It now works fine (at least, it seems to..).

what's the code behind FileExists?
RE: [wtf?!?] Existing file not found by SmokingCookie on 08-24-2008 at 07:26 PM
uhh.. Well, I've changed it a bit, so I can not remember anymore (trust me, it was a LOT of code).
Now, I make sure the path is not specified, and then I move on.

Have you tried using the full path in FileExists like you do when you load? So just if (FileExists (MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\" + strXmlPath))
{
[etc.]
}
