XML paths problem saving out a file

by Andy Hawkins · in Technical Issues · 11/03/2012 (5:36 pm) · 3 replies

I've got an apache server running on my hard drive to set up //localhost in preparation to save high score and profiles on my website.

I'm trying to save to localhost but whenever I save out an XML file it appends this...
(CatPaw is the game name)
"C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Roaming\Independent\CatPaw"


and that's where it's found. I even tried this by adding escape slashes like this...
%txml = new ScriptObject() { class = "XML"; };
%fileFullname = "////localhost//playerProfile.xml";
if(%txml.beginWrite(%fileFullname))
 {
and it just ends up here...
C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Roaming\Independent\CatPaw\localhost

How do I strip out this information and save it on my local host?

Just as an aside it took me ages to paste this code because the website doesn't seem to like tabs and slashes.

Hi Andy

Untested, Try:

$webServerAddress = "localhost";
$xmlFilePath = "/playerProfile.xml";

   %txml = new ScriptObject() { class = "XML"; }; 
   %txml.beginWrite($webServerAddress, $xmlFilePath, "" );

changed the code above to reflect your original code variables. I use mine on a web server, should work locally also.
