Use a_lasterror and lookup the error code.

Code: Select all

fileappend, some_text ,%temp%
msgbox % a_lasterror

@trust_me I think it should be something like: FileAppend some_text, % A_Temp . "\some_filename.txt".

[trust_me]

you are right , but i did this ( %temp% is empty) to create an error to show in the msgbox .
My guess is that OP has a non standard temp folder and defines it in %temp% .

btw thanks for your informative posts Flipeador i learned a lot from them ( and kept some nice code bits that could be handy some time ! )

EDIT : Unless you use #NoEnv, temp is normally equal to A_Temp. temp is a user environment variable.

thank you for the error code link

fileappend, some_text ,%a_temp%               ;- error = 5 because filename missing / Access is denied.
e .= "1=" . a_lasterror . "`n"
fileappend, some_text ,%temp%\xy1.txt
e .= "2=" . a_lasterror . "`n"                ;- error = 183 Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
f2=%a_temp%\xy2.txt
ifexist,%f2%
  filedelete,%f2%
fileappend, some_text ,%f2%  
e .= "3=" . a_lasterror . "`n"                ;- error = 0
run,%a_temp%
msgbox,%e%
return
