here's the strange problem....
I can not seem to read a file in the contents folder of my applescript
application's Contents
set gLocalPrefFile to (((path to me) as string) &
"Contents:Resources:Data:Preferences.xml";)
set theScript to "sed -n
'/<launcherVer>/{s/.*<launcherVer>\\(.*\\)<\\/launcherVer>.*/\\1/p;}' "
& POSIX path of gLocalPrefFile
set localVer to do shell script theScript
does not return anything and gives an error:(
when compiled and put into a dmg volume, I am getting type 1 errors
if I set the location of the gLocalPrefFile file to (path to
preferences as string) & "!Fonovisa.xml" ...outside the Contents folder
it work just fine....
set theScript to "sed -n
'/<launcherVer>/{s/.*<launcherVer>\\(.*\\)<\\/launcherVer>.*/\\1/p;}'
~/Library/Preferences/Preferences.xml"
set localVer to do shell script theScript
this works like a charm :)
I guess writing the preferences.xml file to the preference folder would
be preferable anyway ?
but then again, I'm on my 7th? day of applescript

the xml file contains:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<preferences>
<launcherVer>1.0.0.37</launcherVer>
</preferences>
Knowing what error you're seeing would help. You might be having
quoting trouble with the file path, seeing as how you're not quoting
it at all -- say "quoted form of POSIX path of ..." instead.

P.S.: Personally, I prefer saying
perl -ne 'print $1 if m|<launcherVers>(.*)</launcherVers>|'
...as I find it somewhat clearer, but that's a matter of taste.
