rivet Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 FYI - I was going to ask how to handle the quote and then I came up with this. Note 'qut' is a global field with one straight quote in it. And the substitute function to help keep it clean. Also I found that quotes are required around the path (osX). Substitute( "tell application ^Finder^ activate reveal ^" & SourcePath & "^ end tell", "^", qut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 You don't really need to worry about handling the quote. I normally put the whole applescript (quotes and all) into a global field (gScriptCode) in this kind of "merge field" format: tell application "Finder" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
