I've done this many times with no problems. Recently, a friend of mine claimed that Python was way faster that AppleScript at doing arithmetic (+, -, x, ...) on integer strings. He wrote a Python program that does arithmetic on integer strings of any length. The program is a Unix Executable File called "arithmetic" and is stored in my application's /Contents/Resources/ folder. I create 'comdPath' like this ...

	tell application "Finder"
		((path to me) as text) & "Contents:Resources:arithmetic"
		set comdPath to quoted form of (POSIX path of the result)
	end tell

When I need to multiply two long integer strings, I write something like ...

do shell script comdPath & " " & "2947500377593728465" & " x " & "5906284290384594739"

Of course, I usually use variables. And he was right, "arithmetic" does integer string arithmetic waaaaay fast (instantly), while an AppleScript arithmetic handler takes 10s of seconds.

Hello.
is there a way to a Cocoa-AppleScript application to access its bundle resource? I write a wrapper to a unix program. I would like to put the command-line unix program itself into the Cocoa- AppleScript program's .app directory.


Thanks.
