Problem with non-alpha characters
Authored by: Handycam on Dec 06, '03 04:07:46PM

Nice script, except it chokes if the type or creator contains a non-alphabetic character.

For example, try setting the creator of a text file to be BBEdit, code R*ch. Doesn't work.

Can you fix this please?

Use single quotes

Just give the arguments with single quotes: e.g.
tc -t TEXT -c 'R*ch'
