I've succumbed to a workaround for the moment:
[from JS]
mPath="~/tmp/myTempFile.tmp"
message="echo hello world >> "+ mPath
system(message)
[from AS]
set mPath to "~/tmp/myTempFile.tmp"
set message to do shell script "more " & mPath & " ; rm " & mPath
Does anyone see any problems with this? I would like to write to the User's
'Temporary Items' folder, but I have terrible problems with getting echo to
write to a user path if the user path has spaces in names; yes I've tried
quoting, escaping, etc; it just doesn't like to do it.
Will this fail if the user does not have admin privileges?
TIA -- JA
