BTW: If this is going to be a commercial app, you may want to insure against
the possibility that PlistBuddy isn't in the place you think it is (I've had
that happen when going from Tiger (where it was in the
AdditionalEssentials.pkg receipt file) to Leopard (where it ended up in
/usr/libexec)). Here's a handy handler I wrote just in case... feel free to
use any or all of it (watch line wraps):
function stsFindPListBuddy
-- Attempts to locate PlistBuddy by some known paths first, and
-- then uses "locate" if it can't find it. PlistBuddy is installed with a
-- lot of software so it should always be there.
put "/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy" & cr & "/Library/Receipts/
AdditionalEssentials.pkg/Contents/Resources/PlistBuddy" into tKnownLocs
repeat for each line tLoc in tKnownLocs
if there is a file tLoc then return tLoc
end repeat
put shell("/usr/bin/locate PlistBuddy | sed 2,10000d") into tLoc
put word 1 to -1 of tLoc into tLoc
return fixPath(tLoc) -- Just in case of spaces, etc.
end stsFindPListBuddy
function fixPath pPath
put "\" & space & quote & "'`<>!;()[]?#$^&*=" into tSpecialChars
repeat for each char tChar in tSpecialChars
replace tChar with ("\" & tChar) in pPath
end repeat
return pPath
end fixPath
Enjoy!
