Hello again, Macruby community! I'm trying to rewrite a program that drives Excel with appscript, and running into the problem of translating back and forth between HFS and POSIX pathnames. The old Appscript module included a MacTypes module, and these two translations were provided. 1. to go from POSIX to HFS: hfs_pathname = MacTypes::FileURL.path(posix_pathname).hfs_path 2. to make the round trip back to POSIX: posix_pathname = DefaultCodecs.unpack(DefaultCodecs.pack(hfs_pathname).coerce(KAE::TypeFileURL)).path Do I need to go to the scripting bridge for this? This is Core Foundation stuff, and I'm totally at sea. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bob Schaaf
