[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.
