You:
set tempDir to path to temporary items as string
set tempFilename to tempDir & "tempfile"
--> "Macintosh HD:private:tmp:501:Temporary Items:tempfile2"
Since the original poster wants to use the path in a do shell script
routine, why not start off with a posix path, as in the example I
gave.
"/tmp/temp.sh"
set {fU, f} to {result, result as POSIX file}
--> {"/tmp/temp.sh", file "dx:private:tmp:temp.sh"}
You now have both the paths that will be needed in the form that is
needed for writing the file and for the shell script. I've posted so
many examples in the past using this method that I'm surprised no one
else has used it. Old verbose habits die hard I suppose.
