full path to .aiff file
Authored by: mervTormel on Sep 23, '02 02:55:03PM

i want to point out here that the yomamma script is going to try and write that .aiff file to the root dir / and if your account does not have write access, the sound file doesn't get written and the script doesn't complain (at least, not here).

you'll want to use the full path name to the intended sound file, e.g.,

"Users:yourUsername:soundFileName.aiff"

editorial: i consider this omission rather poor form; full paths to filenames, people!

Hey thanks Merv, that path did the trick. I tried putting in a POSIX path but it didn't like that, I forgot Applescript uses the : notation. Now I can program incoming mail to report "You've Got Veal!" (apologies to Dave Letterman for stealing his joke.. I love that one)..
