Re: Version number of apps

I have somewhat of a problem. I want to refer to an application with the name such as Killer App 1.5.app. From one of my applications I'm referring to, I can make the call to the Killer App 1.5.app, but this will probably break with older or newer versions of Killer App. Is there a way that I can hack around this problem? Should I just try and extract the version number and try and use a manipulation of CStrings, arrays, and whatever else to get this to work?

Note: Killer App is not my application, so I can't just rename things and have to take into account other users.

If you need to find an application, you shouldn't do so by name. Look it up using its Bundle identifier or its creator code instead. I think LaunchServices contains a function to perform this look-up.
