Re: Can't convert path ~/... to Fsref

I don't believe that CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath does shell expansion (the documentation makes no note of it doing this). glob does shell exapansion. You can just feed all path strings to it along with the GLOB_NOESCAPE and GLOB_TILDE flags. It will then expand any paths starting with ~ to the correct path. This is similar to NSString's -stringByExpandingTildeInPath method.

    How about CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath followed by CFURLGetFSRef?

Thanks,
But, I fail to see how to integrate that into my code.
I am trying to do a generic function that will handle all possible entry.
Plus I was hopping for something in Carbon.

I am trying to create/open a file with the origine in posix example "~/Library/Preferences/temp.tiff"

I have made a function to convert based on some example I have found...
It works most of the time but seems to failed with the TILDE(~) current user...
The RetStatus is -43 rectory not found...
