I apologize if this is a silly newbie kinda question. I've been writing Visual Basic and 4D for the last few months, and have lost my Perl chops, but danged if I can't figure out why this won't work. This creates the expected file, but doesn't set it's creator to BBEdit file. require "StandardFile.pl"; $x = &StandardFile'GetNewFile("Select New File", "foo"); open (MYFILE,">$x")|| die "could not open $x"; print MYFILE "hello world.\nI'm a BBEDIT file.\n"; MacPerl::SetFileInfo ("R*ch" , "TEXT" , MYFILE); close (MYFILE); ** Russell Aminzade - Computing As If People Matter - 802-351-4357 aminzade@sover.net** ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
