10.4: Use full paths in Automator workflows
Authored by: shavenyak on May 13, '05 11:56:06AM

I think tilde expansion is normally done internally by the bash shell. It's possible that instead of simply performing the ls command, you could pipe 'ls ~/whatever' through /bin/bash and get the desired result. I don't have Tiger, so I can't try it myself.

tell application "Finder" to set mac_path to (home as string)
tell application "Finder" to set unix_path to (do shell script "echo $HOME")
