[Closed] TEMP folder for different versions of max

Yes, the doctor would help.
I found the problem, but I can’t solve it of course.
Max 2014 can create the file and close properly, so that I can read it in 2012 and delete it even.
If I create the file in 2012, then it is used by 2012 when I want to delete from windows, and doesn’t allow to other versions to read. Even the following code doesn’t solve from 2012.

  (
	  filename = sysInfo.tempdir + "\	est_001.dat"
	  file = createfile filename
	  format "%
" "2012" to:file
	  flush file
	  close file
	free file
	gc()
  )

I can delete the file in windows just with the help of unlocker application. It says that max 2012 is using it.

You can try to create the file and write in it with dotnet.

Thank you, net seams to work:

(
	temparr=#("text1", "text2")
	txtFile = @"C:\Temp\myText.txt"
	sioFile = dotNetClass "System.IO.File"
	sioFile.WriteAllLines txtFile temparr
)
