-12 -> Indicates "path not found".

And RFile::Replace wants the directory to be present before creating the file.

Therefore I suspect that the private directory is not created in your case. By default no private directory is created. You have to copy any file (in case of an installation) in the private folder or you have to manually(or programaticaly) create it.

In emulator just run your program after creating the directory.

Cheers
Dennis

HI,

Check whether the path is correct by printing it...If you have any spelling mistakes in the path you will get the -12 error....

Thanks eric for your answer.

Now I try this:

Code:

RFs iFs;
RFile iFile;
TInt aStatus=0;

TBuf<256> filepath;
iFs.PrivatePath(filepath); // NOTE
filepath.Append(_L("filename.txt")); // NOTE

iStatus = iFile.Replace(iFs, filepath, EFileWrite);

but 'iStatus' still has the value -12 after iFile.Replace(...);

What is the value of filename ?
(should be the full path to your private directory and the filename)
