Question

In Workflow for reading and writing files the authors use these two lines of code:

var file = air.File.documentsDirectory; 
file = file.resolvePath("AIR Test/testFile.txt");

But I think that it’s using one variable for two different meanings, isn’t it?

Wouldn’t it be better to write them as:

var myDocumentsDirectory = air.File.documentsDirectory; 
var myTestFile = myDocumentsDirectory.resolvePath("AIR Test/testFile.txt");

Answer 1

You’re exactly right; however, if it were me, I’d just put it all on one line:

var myTestFile = air.File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("AIR Test/testFile.txt");
