Here is the method I used. Perhaps it will be help to someone...
One would call it when needing to convert the system root path to use when
you need the the unix-style path to be read by, for instance, the command
line.
e.g. $posixRoot := urlPath2Posix(join paths(get root))
It doesn't work on windows, just os x
method "urlPath2Posix"($path)
if ($path[[1]] = "/") // is it a system root path in url style? (i.e.
/HARDDRIVE/usr/local/www/)
$sysfolder := join paths(execute in 4d("SYSTEM FOLDER";*))
$bootvol := substring($sysfolder;1;position("/";$sysfolder;2))
if (substring($path;1;position("/";$path;2)) = $bootvol) //this is the boot
volume
$path := substring($path;position("/";$path;2);length($path))
else
$path := "/Volumes" + $path // this is a non-boot volume
end if
else
native to url path($path) // It is not a system root path, just return the
url style
end if
return($path)
end method
