write fails

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jon,

I'm used to another method which works well for me:

put "C:/RHOADS/EEOL2/Logs/log.txt" into tLogFilePath
put the date & " " & the long time & "  " & m into tData
-----
put  url("file:" & tLogFilePath) into tLog
if tLog = empty then put tData into url("file:" & tLogFilePath)
else put tLog & cr & tData into url("file:" & tLogFilePath)

The advantage is that Rev creates the file if it does not exists and  
overwrites the previous file if it already exists.
If you want be compliant with Mac OS, add a fileType setting :-)
