Another Question about File function

aryu · 20th September 2006, 09:06

I want to get the name and path of the files to be installed from a file list, then extract them to the destination.
But I got some problems when I try to use :
File $Path$Name
It will display: "File: "$path$name" -> File not found"
Why?

You're confusing run time variables such as $path with compile time instructions such as File.

You'll have to read from the list with FileOpen, FileRead and FileClose.
