File names changed

[jsgrahamus]

I wrote a script which looped through a series of web pages, downloaded them and saved them off as files. Easy enough. After verifying that the code worked I changed the code into a function, so I could simply pass some parameters and not have to change the internals.

What is happening now is that the file is being changed somehow from what I created to the same with "/c/program files (x86)/rebol/view/" appended to the front of it.

The script follows with the error:
>> basefile
== %/c/users/steve/documents/bom/
>> bom: func [book numch] [
[ basefile: %c/users/steve/documents/bom/
[ for counter 1 numch 1 [
[ addr: rejoin [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/ book "/" counter]
[ afile: rejoin [basefile book "/" book counter ".htm"]
[ print afile
[ print ""
[ write afile (read addr)
[ ]
[ ]
>> bom "alma" 63
c/users/steve/documents/bom/alma/alma1.htm

connecting to: scriptures.lds.org
** Access Error: Cannot open /c/program files (x86)/rebol/view/c/users/steve/documents/bom
/alma/alma1.htm
** Where: do-body
** Near: write afile (read addr)

Any clues on why it is changing the file path?


Thanks, Steve

I should have set the file name to %/c/users... instead of what I did.

Hi Steve

I think you must be running into Vista/Windows 7 security issues where it is using the virtual file system.
Move your script out of the c:\program files path to eg: c:\rebol and it should work.

oh ... yeah .. you got that wrong!

using relative path addressing.
