Get path of a file

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to get (in clipboard, for example) the path of a file of which I know the name, but not where it is in the hard disk. In other words, I want the path of the file named “c_i_c_c_i_o.txt” that is somewhere in the hard disk, without call a dialog box for the choise, or other user actions.
Thanks in advance

Enrico

You can use *nix’s “find” command, but it will take lots of time searching the entire HD:

do shell script "find / -name 'c_i_c_c_i_o.txt'"
