Thank you Axel. That works nicely. I'm looking at the man page for
tr trying to figure out the argument you used, '\\000'
And 30 min. later I'm still lookingŠ I need a Rosetta stone for
reading man pages
I think the first \ escapes the next \ (for AppleScript)
Yes, that's correct: the double backslash in the AppleScript string
allows to pass a single backslash to the shell command.
but I don't understand this part \000
And you are right here too. :-)
The \000 is not strictly needed, and \0 works as well.
(let's say \000 is like chicken soup in this case)
Sorry for having made man pages yet more obfuscated,
Axel
