WorldViz User Forum - problems with output to a text file within executable

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting my data when my program is published as an executable. When developing the code this:

Code:

#Get path to publish EXE

path = viz.getOption('Y:\backup\Vizard30\resources\road\speed_.txt','.')+'/'



#Open file in path

file = open( 'adapt' + str(subject),'w' )

worked fine - but didn't work at all when published as an executable.

Previously I've gathered data using this:

Code:

directory = 'Z:\Vizard30\Dataoutput\driving\ '

subjectd = 'speed_.txt' + str(subject)

filename = directory+subjectd

file = open(filename, 'w')

which again seems to have stopped working.

I've tried this:

Code:

def getPublishedPath(filename):

        filename = 'adapt_.txt' + str(subject)

        publishPath = viz.getOption('Y:\backup\Vizard30\resources\road\','')

        if publishPath:

                return '/'.join([publishPath,filename])

        return filename



file = open(getPublishedPath(filename), 'w')

but I get an error message with it.

Any ideas on what I should be doing?
Cheers!
