Re: Accessing carbon calls from within cocoa

I don't think there is a way to get a FSSpec directly in Cocoa. You can though use Carbon to get a FSRef by using

OSStatus FSPathMakeRef ( const UInt8 *path, FSRef * ref, Boolean * isDirectory );

if you have a string path or if you have a NSURL you can use

Boolean CFURLGetFSRef ( CFURLRef url, FSRef *fsRef );

(NSURL *) can be cast as a CFURLRef, you can then do a lot with just a FSRef but if you need a FSSpec you can use

OSErr FSGetCatalogInfo ( const FSRef *ref, kFSCatInfoNone, NULL, NULL, FSSpec * fsSpec, NULL );

I am working on a project where I need to take a url path passed to me by the NSOpenPanel dialog box and convert that to a fsspec. Is there something in cocoa that will do this, or will I have to take the MoreFiles example from apple and mold it to my needs? Thanks in advance!
