Back and forth between Posix and HFS paths

  • Subject: Back and forth between Posix and HFS paths

I've been trying to go back and forth between POSIX paths and HFS paths and getting the POSIX path of a file that exists is rather easy, but going back the other way, is nonintuitive.

I've got this file on my HD:

Hard Disk: Test ™.txt

I'm looking to preserve the non UNIX friendly characters, so do any of you know how to go from the POSIX path back to the HFS path?

TIA,
- Alex _______________________________________________
