Here's the test I ran.
I pasted this into script editor, and started running it.
------------------
set myFolder to path to startup disk
set fileName to "Sequence 1 Copy_070530035437.mov"
set myFile to ((myFolder as string) & fileName)
try
open for access file myFile with write permission
set openFile to the result
on error
close access file myFile
open for access file myFile with write permission
set openFile to the result
end try
set x to 1
set eof of openFile to 1
repeat
set x to x + 1
get eof of openFile
write x as string to openFile
end repeat
------------------
I then pasted this into Script Debugger and started running it.
------------------
set myFolder to path to startup disk
set fileName to "Sequence 1 Copy_070530035437.mov"
set myFile to ((myFolder as string) & fileName)
get eof of file myFile
set oldSize to 0
repeat
delay 2
try
set curSize to get eof of file myFile
log curSize
if curSize is oldSize then
exit repeat
end if
set oldSize to curSize
on error errText
log {"error @ file size check run stat script -> user canceled",
errText}
display dialog errText
exit repeat
end try
end repeat
------------------
The result was no errors, and it faithfully logged the growing file size.
get eof file "Jaguar:Sequence 1 Copy_070530035437.mov"
--> 425.0
(*425.0*)
get eof file "Jaguar:Sequence 1 Copy_070530035437.mov"
--> 467.0
(*467.0*)
When I stopped the Script Editor process it gracefully exited as expected.
Is it possible there is a return character or some other odd character in
your original file name?
