Reading a file through it's alias

Hi List,

Has anyone good experiences regarding reading files through a command+L alias reference? The cat does not work well, only if I read the original file, not the alias.

open for access file "System:Users:ffmatyas:projects:server tech:server tech log.txt" with write permission
--> 183
get eof 183
--> 25.0
read 183 from 1 to 25.0 as «class utf8»
--> "
2004/12/06 15:24:48 log
"
close access 183


The file spec is ok, although the eof is bad, and so is the readed data. The script finished the open for access close access sentences, but TextEdit still complains that it can not open the alias file in the Finder with double-click. And the issue is he same, when an alias is a directory. I use the latest 10.3.6.

Thanks in advance!
