Re: OS delimiter question

[Thierry Arbellot]

OS X is an Unix system, so the delimiter is slash
But for backward compatibility with OS 9, Finder and other apps use ":" 
as delimiter

Rev works with Unix-style names, it means the delimiter is slash
If you need to convert between Unix and legacy Mac style, you could use 
the functions revMacFromUnixPath and revUnixFromMacPath

Thierry

from http://www.osxfaq.com/tips/unix-tricks/ it seems it should be 
slash
for shells... shouldn't it?

Is there a translation at some point by runrev or a terminal mode that
forces the translation maybe...
I suppose Applescripts use the ":"...

do get shell("ls") and the folders both return "results 4:4:44"

aha!
So if you do get shell("ls") and you have a folder named "results
4/4/44" what do you get?

all unixes use the "/" ?
and if osx's path delimiter is still ":" or has it gone to
slash form?
The Finder lets me make a folder named "4/4/44", but not
one named
"4:4:44"

Right, but if you check with Terminal, the folder named
"4/4/44" in
the Finder is renamed "4:4:44" by the shell.
