I may be misunderstanding something, however it appears that the object reference returned by npFileCreate does not work with the inbuilt file functions of VisualNeo.
I create(open) a text file with
npFileCreate "E:\NeobookProjects\Words\words.txt" "fmOpenRead" "fmShareDenyNone" "WordFile"
then try to read the number of lines in the file
FileLen "[WordFile]" "[NumWords]"
and get a file not found error.
Is my assumption the case or did I miss something?
Thanks
Matthew

Hello Matthew,

Certainly "WordFile" is a variable which refers to the npFile plugin created file. We must use that variable with the other plugin's actions. Basically that variable allow us to create various npFile objects, since we can use as many variables as needed.

However, what the "FileLen" VisualNeo' actions expect for their first argument is a file path, so, we can't use the above refered variable. You can save the file path when create the npFile object, but also retrieve it by the npFile's npFilePath action.

Then you can use the path with the "FileLen" VisualNeo's action. On the other hand, if you want to know the file size created by the npFile plugin you can use the npFile's npFileBytes action. Please, let me know if you have any other questions!
