saving a file in a different location.

[KAKAN]

The topic says all^^.
I want to save a file in a different drive/folder.
For ex:-
I have my server is Drive D, but I want to read/write/create a file and update it in Drive C, in a folder 'A', is there any ways to do it?

No, you must keep the file in your script folder.

Symlink.  Only @Thijn can explain about it

@Thijn, help me pl0x. This is needed for me.

All you need to do is give a complete route to the file / folder, it is possible.

Code Select Expand

dofile( "D:/myscript/scripts", true );

This is not possible. The squirrel interpreter runs inside a virtual machine, meaning it is blind to any folder except the script folder. You can see an example by executing

Code Select Expand

system("dir /s");on a Windows machine. That command is supposed to print every file, but it only prints the files inside the script folder as it virtually doesn't exist in the VM. However it can be done using plugins.

@NE.CrystalBlue, Would you mind taking 5 minutes for testing something rather than wasting them to prove your logics? I've been doing that for quite a time now on my windows PC and it JUST WORKS. If it doesn't work for anyone else then I have nothing to say.

Edit: I've also tested it and it worked with databases connection as well.

Thanks. I'll test it, how can I save a file tho?
I'm using JSON plugin, will it work?

[Thijn]

Well when I've tested, yes, tested, it, it only saw the files inside the folder.

I'm not talking about this...Geez

system("dir /s");
I'm talking about loading things in script.

Yeah, plugin enabled functions will work fine. However, core squirrel functions wont work (system, fopen or something else, etc)
