Insert File Reference using variable to specify path

[Kent Searight]

The following conundrum is (currently) OS X specific and I'm using Troi File plugin in the script.

I want to create a new record in a table "Documents" for each file (any type) in a target folder. In each of those new records I'd like to create a file reference that pertains to the file. To accomplish this I'm trying to pass the file path to the "Insert File" step via a script variable called $$filepath.

The problem is that I keep getting the message that the file cannot be found. This is driving me nuts because when I view the variable $$filepath, it shows the exact file path.

Aaaaarrgh! Can somebody please help me out here?

Sample attached.

Never mind...I figured it out myself.

I was using a file path formatted as "DriveA:users:me:folder:file.ext".

I changed the format to "filemac:/DriveA/users/me/folder/file.ext"

and now it works! :beertime:
