Mac vs. PC path

[David Nelson]

Created text field to hold path. On windows it looks like

/C:/Documents and Settings/David/Desktop/David/test/

I run ListAllFiles and MoveOrRename on windows and it works. When it runs on Mac it fails. I do not understand why since we put fmx in Extensions. Do I need to download and install a new copy of SM or shouldn't putting my fmx in the Macs extension folder work as well?

/Macintosh HD/Users/USER/Desktop/David/test/

Ideas please on what is wrong with the path?

The information is in the online help (when FileMaker is open) help > Creating file paths

filemac:/MacintoshHD/Users/JohnSmith/Documents/test.xls

Thank you, that worked!

I've found that "file:" will suffice and filemac or filewin are unnecessary.
