Coerce file reference to text

Subject: Coerce file reference to text

I've checked around this list and want to extract a POSIX like, (but not POSIX because the file reference is fine as is without the colons) file path.

I like the getting every file of the folder because I can modify it to just get Quark files.

But I'm getting file references that I cannot make into strings so that I can delimit them the way I want.

Is there a better way to get "SeverVol/Job Folder/Quark_file_I_want"? I keep coming up missing it or errors that the file reference can't be text.

frustrated, sam

tell application "Finder" set UserResponse to (choose folder) as string tell application "System Events" set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters set filelist to every file of folder UserResponse whose file type contains "XPR" set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":" set path_items to text items of filelist2 set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "/" set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims end tell return filelist2 end tell _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
