Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: v0.42 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Matteo Sisti Sette (sistisette) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: textfile cannot read from disk root in Windows

Initial Comment: In Windows, If you send

[set foo bar, write /somefile.txt( | [textfile]

it will write the file to the root folder of the current drive, just as expected.

However, if you try to read it:

[read /textfile.txt( | [textfile]

it won't read it: error: /textfile.txt: can't open error: /textfile.txt: read failed

when obviously the file exists.

Note that: - it does successfully write to the same path - it does read from path starting with "/" other than the root, such as "/somedir/textfile.txt" - it does read from the root if the disk unit is specified, such as "D:/textfile.txt"
