How do I read and write data from a temporary file in the folder "tmp:"? The data which I am storing is too big to be stored in the registry.

[destruk]

data=ReadAsciiFile("tmp:/example.txt")
WriteAsciiFile("tmp:/example.txt", data)

Note however that the temp filesystem doesn't persist when your channel is closed. See http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/File+System

--Mark

Is there any way to find File Location on temporary storage. getPath() or any else?

[speechles]

You mean so you can know if you need to read ahead of your write?

Sub LogMessages(message As String)

    ' write active logs in temp
    fileName = "tmp:/logmessages.txt"
    LocalFileBrowser = CreateObject("roFileSystem")
    if LocalFileBrowser.exists(fileName)
        text = ReadAsciiFile(fileName)
    else
        text = ""
    end if
    WriteAsciiFile(filename,text+chr(10)+message)

End Sub

You could probably do something like the above. Not sure entirely what you are after.

Here I tried to find a file path like a tree structure. In package storage, I created a one folder image and inside an image folder stored 1.txt file and I tried to find my file Location like a pkg:/images/1.txt using only file name 1.txt.
