I'm a pretty new applescript user so I apologize if this is an obvious
question.
I need to "get" a hidden file, but I really don't want to go through
the process of showing all files and restarting Finder. I also need
the script to be usable on multiple computers. This is the statement
I initially tried, but it isn't able to find the hidden file.
get file "library:application support:.syssettings12a239c8044f4" of
the startup disk.
I also don't want to make the user choose the file, but the choose
file dialog does display hidden files.
set thefilepath to (choose file)
any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!
