Bonjour Peter,
Le 18 juin 10 à 14:46, Peter Brigham MD a écrit :

Hmm... On my system (MacBook, OSX 10.5.8, Rev Studio 4.0.0-gm-1, build 950) the following works fine:
  launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word"
whereas
  launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app"
does not work.
I have the same system (Mac OSX 10.5.8) and Rev Enterprise 4.0-gm-1 (I tried also several other version: 2.8.1, 3.5 gm-1 and 4.5-dp-3) Always getting the inverse result (works with .app, doesn't work without .app) bizarre isn't it!

In the Finder on my Mac, the MSWord application does not have the ".app" suffix, so I would have been surprised if using "/Microsoft Word.app" had worked, since it doesn't correspond to an identifiable file on my drive.
Jacque is right (as usual ;-)):

Using the recent suggestion from Bernd on this thread:
-------
select the file/application you want to address in the finder, command- C or copy it and paste it into the
Rev field/script to get the full path pasted.
-------
I get the same path with the suffix ".app" in any case: either choosing "extensions hidden" or "shown" in the finder prefs.

Now, seems unlikely it be a difference between Enterprise and Studio?

Well, wait and see ;-))

Best regards

André

But you're correct that
  launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word/"
also works, though strictly speaking it should be ungrammatical in RevTalk.

Is this a Mac vs Windows thing? A Leopard vs Snow Leopard thing? A Rev 4.0 vs 4.5 thing?

I suspect the problem was more related to the final slash in your original script, so a folder was specified rather than a file. Does it work using ".../Microsoft Word" without the ".app" but also without the final slash?

Bonjour Peter,

No, it does not work without ".app", either with the final slash or without it.

launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word/" -- does not work launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word" -- does not work

while it works as soon as one adds the ".app", with or without a final slash:

launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app" -- works launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app/" -- works

Thank you much for your reply and suggestion

Best regards from Grenoble

André

André,

on mouseUp
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app"
if the result is not empty then answer the result
end mouseUp

works for me.
