Anyone has idea how to detect a file has, or hasn't resource fork, by
applescript? The environment is Mac OS X 10.3.2, on HFS+.
In my .tcshrc file I have this alias.
alias files ls -lF \*/..namedfork/data \*/..namedfork/rsrc
note that the wildcard approach above (disregarding the alias-defining
syntax) doesn't work in bash (Apple's default shell), nor the default
shell for do shell script (sh?)
this will work in bash, at least for the current directory:
alias rezz='ls -p | grep [^/]$ | xargs -I $ ls -lf $/..namedfork/rsrc'
and this with do shell script:
set f to choose folder
set folder_path to quoted form of posix path of f
set source_part to "find " & folder_path & " -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1
-type file -print "
set munge_part to " | grep [^/]$ | xargs -I $ ls -lF
$/..namedfork/rsrc"
do shell script source_part & munge_part
There are other options to the ls command and it's probably possible
to show only the lengths of the forks.
no it's not directly possible -- that's why i piped the fork content to
wc in my previous example
