Hi!

I wrote this little handler to coerce a record into a string. It works with "German" as System language. Does it work with other languages too? Who can test?

display dialog to_String(info for POSIX file "/tmp")

on to_String(the_record)
   try
       {a:0} as string
   on error cutoff
       set cutoff to 4 - (length of cutoff)
   end try
   try
       the_record as string
   on error the_record
       set the_record to text 1 thru cutoff of the_record
   end try
   return the_record -- as string
end to_String
