referring to files (Score:1)

by hayne (3883) on 2003.01.27 21:19 (#16440)

I also found the file reference syntax very confusing and irritating. But then I discovered the POSIX keyword. With it, I can refer to files by their UNIX path - the way I am familiar with.
E.g. (calling AppleScript from a shell script):
echo "set ofile to POSIX file \"$audiofile\"
say \"$message\" saving to ofile"
| /usr/bin/osascript
