"do shell script" into directory with a dot


  • Subject: "do shell script" into directory with a dot
  • From: Doug McNutt <email@hidden>

set scr to quoted form of "/usr/bin/perl  /Volumes/Echo/Documents/.fun/myperlcode.pl"
do shell script scr

Fails complaining  "no such file or directory"

The command works fine in a BBEdit worksheet or in Terminal.app.

Fails if presented as an osasrcipt.

Does AppleScript discriminate against hidden directories? The directory .fun has permissions set to 700, but I am the owner and executor of the "do shell script". The volume Echo has a case sensitive file system. I'm using OS 10.3.9 because I MUST be able to use my SE/30 file server for a few more years.

Do I need to "tell" someone what I want to do?
