I have a rather lengthy shell script that acts upon a file path and posts results to a log file. I have been able to read this large shell script into a property and save it inside my applescript that way. The problem I am having though is that the arguments I am passing to the shell script are not being passed right. I am trying many logical ways that do not seem to work. The shell understands the shell script because it is asking for the arguments, it does not like the way I am passing them. After searching the list archives I am more confused than before as to what to try next. Please help, I'm close but stumped here. . .

Maybe you need to surround the pathnames with single quotes:

do shell script (myShellCode & " " & quoted form of posix path of TestFile & " " &
quoted form of posix path of FileLog)
