EditFile Correct Usage?

I downloaded and installed your latest EditFile plug-in to edit an XML file. I cannot find and help docs, so I'm left to guess how to use it.

Q. Can I use %TARGETDIR%\\%TITLE%\\settings.xml for the 'Text file path'???

Q. How do I handle an install if the user might choose C:, D:, etc... if I cannot use %TARGETDIR% ???

I have tried both Variable and long file path, but nothing works.

Also I don't know how to catch any EditFile Errors either.

The editfile plugin only works on files that are already present on the target system, so, if you need to edit a file that you are installing the editfile plugin must be placed after the apply install command.

I recieved an email this morning and fixed the problem.

Use $ instead of %.

Kind regards,

Thanks for pointing to my error. I've also been working with another program that uses %%, so I confused myself. Two heads are better than one.

Thanks again...
