Writing to file - why won't this code work?

This code appears to work, but no file actually gets created on disk. The problem seems to lie with using monkey://data/ ... if I hard-code the path, it works fine. I'm running it as a desktop app in OSX 10.9.3. Thanks, Lindsay Strict Import brl.filestream Function WriteTestFile:Int(fname: String) Local textFile: FileStream ' This line causes the app to fail Local filename: String = "monkey://data/"+fname+".txt" ' But this line works just fine ' Local filename: String = "/Users/lindsay/Monkey/Learning/FileIOTest/FileIOTest.data/"+fname+".txt" Print "Attempting to create: "+filename textFile = New FileStream(filename,"w") If textFile = Null Print "Can't create text file" Return 0 End textFile.WriteString("Bananas!") textFile.Close() Return 1 ' Success End Function Main:Int() If WriteTestFile("test") = 0 Print "Failure" Else Print "Success" End Return 0 End Produces this output ... Attempting to create: monkey://data/test.txt Success |

Works fine here, the file is created within the resulting .app/Users/danilo/Projects/Monkey/filetest.buildv79d/glfw/xcode/build/Release/MonkeyGame.app/Contents/Resources/data/test.txt Right-click on your .app and select something like "show package content" to see it, or use ForkLift 2 file manager. |

Oh, of course, I was expecting it to create the file in my *source* directory. So obvious now you explain it to me. Thanks! :) |
