Strange error message


  • Subject: Strange error message

This script uses the SatImage OSAX but I'm not sure that's the problem

If I write the line

set m to list resources "TEXT" from file "OS
X:Users:Steve:Library:Preference:Test File"

I get the list of resources. This would be fine if every user was
called Steve, but they're not. So I changed my script to:

set fname to (path to current user folder as text)
set fname to fname & "Preferences:Test File"
set m to list resources "TEXT" from file fname

On the list resources line I get:

Folder C8KbpC+B5AB.C8KbB'C8KC7KTbpnullC
lRESOC+B5fb nullC+B5SbC+B5pSbC8KC7b!fss obj C!
C+B5_b!C8KbCC8KC7bKKK\C+B5_b!C8KbCb9C+b8C+b"ft
B'C+b"fB% wasn't found.

Which looks like a bug but could be user stupidity. Can anyone tell me
whats going on here?

Thanks (and happy new year)

Steve
