[how to handle posix path argument]


I found the solution:


set HFSPath to ((POSIX file posixPath) as Unicode text)


I found (thanks Gnarlodious) much nicer solution:


set aPath to "/foo/bar"
tell application "TextEdit"
open my POSIX file aPath
end tell


Anyone has a clue why you need "my" for "posix file"?


Also, the error you get if you leave out "my" is not very helpful.


Try this code with a path to exiting file:


set aPath to "/foo/bar"
tell application "TextEdit"
open POSIX file aPath
end tell

You get:

TextEdit got an error: Can't make POSIX file \"/foo/bar\" into type alias.


Instead of something about posix file.



Best Regards,
