files included in project 1

[JimmyK]

Hi all,
I include a bitmap (test.bmp) file in my project, say MYPROJ
i build it to EXE, say MYPROJ.EXE
How can i copy this bitmap file to hard disk while running EXE?

The command
copy test.bmp to c:\test2.bmp cause an error say : File test.bmp does not exist!

How can i work around this problem?

Thanks

Hi Jimmy Le,

I am seeing you here after almost over 6 to 8 months. Welcome back!

Instead of including it in the project, can you think of saving it in a Fields General Field and then save it to harddisk?. May be that is easier. It depends on the size.

If you include the bitmap in your project, it means it only exists in a compiled verion, not an actual bitmap. I would try what Ramani suggests. Mike Gagnon

Thank you all,
Maybe i have to do so because there is no other way!

Ramani, i will be seeing you more often in this forum, thanks once again.

Jimmy Le,
I use this routine to extract files included in a project:

** cute kludge complements Vlad Grynchyshyn on the UT **
CREATE CURSOR ttt (ttt M)
APPEND BLANK
APPEND MEMO ttt.ttt FROM test.bmp
lcSvSafety = SET("SAFETY")
SET SAFETY OFF
COPY MEMO ttt.ttt to c:\test2.bmp
IF lcSvSafety <> &quot;OFF&quot;
   SET SAFETY ON
ENDIF
use in ttt

Note it is important that the internal file not match the external file's name (as you were already doing!).
