Hi Bob,
If at all possible I'd try and avoid the conversion. If this is not feasible,
this could help:
def posix_from_hfs(hfs)
url = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(nil, hfs, KCFURLHFSPathStyle, false) #
final argument is whether the path is a directory or not
url.path
end
def hfs_from_posix(posix)
url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath posix
CFURLCopyFileSystemPath(url, KCFURLHFSPathStyle)
end
The first method needs reworking, as it assumes that the HFS path is not a
directory.
I've only did a very brief test of the above code, but it seems to do the job.
