Hi,

Does anyone of you knows to convert this:

"/Users/user/Desktop/myFile.ext"

into

"Macintosh HD:Users:user:Desktop:myFile.ext"

Starting from a File myFile.ext located on the desktop ?

I can do string concatenations and stuff or call applescript but I was looking at something more meaningful.

TIA

Loic

Hi Loic,

How about:

f = new File(Folder.desktop + "/myFile.ext");

alert("Macintosh HD" + f.fsName.replace(/\//g, ":");

Use pathfinder - right-click on the folder and copy path as HFS .
