How can I transform a path like this “/Users/name/” into a path like this: “Macintosh HD:Users:name” so that I can copy a file.
copy pic_path to folder dest_path
where pic_path is like “/Users/name/”
Hi,
you can directly address the home folder of current user with
path to home folder -- result is alias
or
path to home folder as string -- result is string
No what I mean is: I have a path in the posix style, that is “/Users/name” but what I need as far as I can see is something like that path “Macintosh HD:Users:name”. So how can I transform a given path “/Users/name” to the other style ?
you can do it with this:
set a to "/Users/name/"
set b to POSIX file a as string
without as string the result is a file reference
