i am trying to correctly use the POSIX path found in the standard additions dictionary. what gets returned looks like this:
:.:Volume/Folder/Folder/File
then i try to pass that to a do shell script, and the script chokes. i think it doesn’t understand the :.: in front of the volume name, and niether do i. the do shell script will error and tell me the file does not exist. anyone got this working? here is a simple example of what i’m trying to do:
tell application "Finder"
set x to POSIX path "some path"
do shell script "cd " & x
end tell
i am running 10.1.3.
thanks.
