Hi Philip
Is your script dedicated to 10.5 ?
Greetings Yvan,
I'm not sure but I can test on 10.4.11 sometime over the weekend. It might be related to the fact that I maybe shouldn't use 'quoted form of' for Tcl but instead use matched braces (which are the equivalent of hard quotes for Tcl).
set ppath to POSIX path of (choose file) do shell script "tclsh <<< 'puts [file rootname [file tail {" & ppath & "}]]'"
Here, under 10.4.11, with:
set pat to "Macintosh HD:Users:yvan_koenig:Desktop:save2Pages&PDF&zip.applescript.zip" as alias
set ppath to quoted form of POSIX path of pat
do shell script "tclsh <<< 'puts [file rootname [file tail " & ppath & "]]'"
the log report is:
(*/Users/yvan_koenig/Desktop/save2Pages&PDF&zip.applescript.zip*)
tell current application
do shell script "tclsh <<< 'puts [file rootname [file tail '/Users/yvan_koenig/Desktop/save2Pages&PDF&zip.applescript.zip']]'"
"sh: line 1: zip.applescript.zip]]: command not found
sh: line 1: PDF: command not found"
