Re: reveal file/folder in Finder

[Sarah]

This won't quite work because the Unix path doesn't include the disk 
name, and revMacFromUnixPath() just changes the slashes to colons but 
doesn't add the disk name. Here is a function that I (with help from 
this list), came up with to convert Unix/OS X file paths to Applescript 
paths:

function filePathToAppleScript pFile
  put "set tFilePath to *file*" & cr & "set tAS to POSIX file 
tFilePath" \
      & cr & "return tAS" & cr into tScript
  replace "*file*" with quote & pFile & quote in tScript
  do tScript as Applescript
  put the result into tASfile
  delete word 1 of tASfile    -- file
  delete char 1 of tASfile    -- quote
  delete char -1 of tASfile   -- quote

  return tASfile
end filePathToAppleScript
Then use the file path returned by this function as the parameter for 
Ken's AppleScript below.

Cheers,
Sarah

You almost stated it yourself:

tell application "Finder"
  reveal <pathToFileOrFolder>
end tell
Since AppleScript wants colon-delimited paths, you can call on a useful
set of handlers from Rev that's in the Common Library:
  put revMacFromUnixPath(<unixPath>) into myPath

Hope this helps,

Does anyone have the recipe for 'revealing' a folder in the Finder
(OSX) from a Rev script? This used to be a snap in Apple Events. I
can't find the syntax anywhere....
thanks
