how to close a stream created with: stream = util.readFileIntoStream(path of textfile.txt)

Question

- Acrobat Pro batch JavaScript- includes the following line:  stream = util.readFileIntoStream(path of textfile.txt)- runs and completes OK- if I then try to open textfile.txt with TextPad, I get a sharing violation- I have to close Acrobat Pro to release the fileQuestion: how do I close the stream from within the batch script? Tried "stream.close()" but got a "not a function" error.

Thanks for the response. No, the Action completes w/o problems before I try to open the text file. Maybe a little more detail may help:

- the text file contains a JSON hiearchy of directories and files that the Action processes

- the Action reads the file with util.readFileIntoStream(), then calls JSON.parse() to initialize the corresponding JS object

After the Action completes, if I try to open the JSON file in TextPad to make a quick manual change, TextPad gives me a sharing violation. I have to close Acrorbat Pro in order to make the change.
