I'm working with some file paths which begin with the OS-recognized "/Volumes" string.
Aside from the POSIX path implications, does anything have any experience or recommendations for working with these sorts of paths?
More specifically, I"m scripting the attachment of files to emails (various clients), but I can't seem to come up with a reliable way to pass a "/Volumes" path to any of these apps.
So, is there some kind of magic for translating a path like that into something an email client understands? Most want an alias or ":"-delimited path, of course, and that hasn't been a problem as long as said file resides on the startup disk. But what about other volumes?
Again, I know how to alter path-delimitations. I'm looking for information regarding the "/Volumes" situation.
Thanks in advance for any information or insight anyone might lend.
