Hello Charles,
Philip already pointed out a likely typo in your if/then/else
construct (perhaps did you mean, for example, "Graphics" instead of
"Engineering" in the else part?).
That said, I would tend to write:
set theScript to "/usr/bin/id -Gn"
That way, one gets a string of space-separated group names, thus
reducing the risk of having other irrelevant pieces of text that could
match as well.
Moreover, this one might prove more correct:
set userInfo to words of (do shell script theScript)
That way, one gets a list of group names.
The reason being that:
someString contains someChunk
checks for the occurrence of someChunk *as a substring* of someString,
while:
someList contains someChunk
checks whether someChunk appears *as an item* of someList; again, the
latter should help to avoid incorrect matches.
Finally, should your script be for Leopard only, perhaps could you
have a look at the "dsmemberutil" tool instead of the "id" tool.
HTH,
Axel _______________________________________________
