Hello Tim,
MBS plugins have the solution for what you need to do. The pieces
of code below show in general form how to create a new file and write
some arbitrary data to each of the data and resource forks.
If you need more detail contact me off-list.
dim f,fs1,fs2 as FolderItem
dim s as string
dim o as BinaryStream
dim rf as ResStreamMBS
// open your first file for data fork read data into string (s)
if f=Nil then
f = GetSaveFolderItem("special/any", filename + "." + fileext)
end if
if f <> nil then
o = f.CreateBinaryFile("special/any") // open output
data fork, write some data from string (s)
f.MacCreator=filecreator
f.MacType=filetype
o.Write(s)
o.Close
// open 2nd file for resource fork read data into string (s)
rf=f.createResStreamMBS(filetype,filecreator) // open output
resource fork, write some data from string (s)
rf.Write(s)
rf.Close
end if

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to reconstitute a Mac file from an email 'AppleDouble'
attachment. The attachment comes in two halves, the data fork file
and a
separate file for the resource fork. I use the data from the first
attached
file to create a new file on my hard drive. I now need to write the
data
from the second attached file to the resource fork of the new file.
Is there anyway within RealBasic (version 2006r3) of doing this?
I realise that I can write specific resources to a resource fork,
but what
I want here is to write the entire resource fork with the binary data
received from the email.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
