This code has been working for years ...
tell application "System Events" -- read from Info.plist file in
bundleRef = source bundle
(item "Info.plist" of folder "Contents" of bundleRef) as alias
set InfoRecord to (value of property list file (POSIX path of the
result))
end tell
tell application "System Events" -- read ScriptBundleToolUserItems
in project.plist file
(item "project.plist" of contentsSource) as alias
POSIX path of the result
value of property list item "ScriptBundleToolUserItems" of property
list file the result
end tell
set InfoRecord to the result & InfoRecord
tell application "System Events" -- write to Info.plist file in
bundleRef = source bundle
(item "Info.plist" of folder "Contents" of bundleRef) as alias
set (value of property list file (POSIX path of the result)) to
InfoRecord
end tell

Hello
I have an HFS path to a plist file :
set thePlist to "Macintosh
HD:Users:yvankoenig:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist"
How may I use it to read a value in the plist file?
I tried:
set thePlist to "Macintosh
HD:Users:yvankoenig:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist"
set thePlist to POSIX file thePlist
tell application "System Events"
tell contents of property list file thePlist
{value of property list item "LSDocumentDefaultSaveDirectory"}
end tell
end tell
but it fails.
I checked that if I define
set thePlist to "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist"
It works but how may I convert flawlessly the original path to a
usable one ?
