Well, interesting, yes, but weird, no, because you could use
URL "binfile:/Mac HD/sourcefile1.txt"
Also to store data in, so why couldn't you then use it as a source? This
means that you'll have to check for the existence of the file.
function fileExists tPath
set itemDel to "/"
put the directory into tSaveDirectory
set the directory to item 1 to -2 of tPath
set wholeMatches to true
return lineOffset(item -1 of tPath,the files,1) is not "0"
-- skip the first line because that's always ".."
end fileExists
Not tested, just from the top of my head.
