Re: Launch Command

[Roger Guay]

Thanks, Sarah.  You've joined this thread on the second or third 
revolution.  I started with slashes (/) and I've known all along where 
the application is, but I can't get the Launch Command to work.  launch 
"Macintosh HD/Applications/TextEdit.app" does not work on my OSX 10.2.4 
running Revolution 1.1.1.   I guess no one else has this problem and I 
must appear to be a nut case.  Oh well!!

In order to be consistent across all platforms, Revolution uses a slash
"/" as the delimiter for file paths, in your case over-riding the
normal Mac colon ":".
Now that you have located the application, I think the following should
work:
        launch "Macintosh HD/Applications/TextEdit.app"       (Rev 1.1.1)
or      launch "/Applications/TextEdit.app"                           (Rev 2.0)
Note that because of the peculiar nature of OS X application bundles,
checking for the existence of a file will fail. Check instead for a
folder if you are looking for an application.
e.g. there is a file "Macintosh HD/Applications/TextEdit.app"  -- false
        there is a folder "Macintosh HD/Applications/TextEdit.app"  -- true
Hope this helps,
Sarah

Ok, At least I can get the result:   "Macintosh
HD:Applications:TextEdit.app:"
If I then type:

			launch "Macintosh HD:Applications:TextEdit.app:"

into the message box, I get error-35.  What the heck is going on???

Thanks, Roger
