Yes, it works for me (Mac OS X 10.4.3) but I prefer to let Rev do the
work of finding the correct path for AppleScript. Also I have never
used the merge function and can't really see why it is needed. Here is
my version, which includes an error check at the end:
on folder_Open someFolder
put revMacFromUnixPath(someFolder) into someFolder
put "tell application" && kwote("Finder") into someAppleScript
put return & "activate" after someAppleScript
put return & "open folder" && kwote(someFolder) after
someAppleScript
put return & "end tell" after someAppleScript
do someAppleScript as AppleScript
if the result is not empty then answer error "Can't open folder "
& someFolder & cr & the result
end folder_Open
I use "merge" quite a lot actually :) Find it more intuitive than
"format" which I am sure is faster!
Actually, ( this is Dans fault :) - I am curious - do you use "kwote
()" as well - or are you just being nice to me :) If so can you
remember where you got it from - AFIK it came from someone really
cool in an Apple Developer documentation thingy for HyperCard back
about 100 years ago - in the same article there was stuff about
virtual custom properties and dictionaries - all of which are now
native to Rev (thanks again Scott).
Am interested as it is one of the first functions I started to use as
a library. I am in the process of removing small functions like this
to make handlers a little more standalone - for instance at a quick
check "kwote" is referenced by 452 other handlers in my library:
function kwote string
return quote & string & quote
end kwote
So two questions:
1) How would you do this in a single line within a handler using
"format"?
2) Has anyone some code to safely and automatically update all
of my 452 referenced handlers :)
