getting U3 serial number on Mac OS X

[Phil Davis]

Hi List,

I decided to find a way to get a U3 drive's serial number on Mac (OS X only). 
Sorry, I don't have a method for Linux but would welcome anyone's contribution 
in this regard.

Here's what I came up with:



function u3SerialNumbers
  # Return a return-delimited list of all U3 device serial
  # numbers currently known to the system.

  switch the platform

  case "Win32"
    return $U3_DEVICE_SERIAL
    break

  case "MacOS"
    set the itemDelimiter to "."
    if the systemVersion < 10 then return empty

    -- prep
    put 0 into x
    put empty into tSerialNumberList
    put shell("system_profiler -detailLevel mini") into tProfile

    -- get U3 serial numbers
    repeat
      put lineOffset("U3 smart drive:",tProfile) into xStart
      if xStart = 0 then exit repeat

      put lineOffset("Serial Number:",tProfile,xStart) + xStart into xSerNum
      put last word of line xSerNum of tProfile & cr after tSerialNumberList
      delete line 1 to xSerNum of tProfile
    end repeat

    delete last char of tSerialNumberList
    return tSerialNumberList
    break

  default
    return empty
    break
  end switch
end u3SerialNumbers


Thanks -
Phil Davis
