Script updated!
Authored by: robg on Nov 16, '01 10:05:15AM
Just a quick note to let everyone know that James has updated the script to handle even more naming conventions. The new script is reflected in the hint, and here's what James had to say about it:
Okay, I have improved the Mac to Unix path translation subroutine. I notice that there are some scripting plugins that provide this feature,but none of them are nearly as robust as mine. I believe that this new one can handle just about every weird character imaginable. Here is a list of the special characters it now handles: / ' " * ? [space] Of coure, it also handles being in a sub-volume. It also accepts the input to be in text or alias format (for simplicity). I probably really need to make this a scripting addition so that you don't have to update all existing scripts. Please contact me if somebady breaks this script. In this example, it will display the mac and unix paths of whatever is selected in the Finder. It will also send the unix path to the clipboard.
