I did a quick search of the list and didn’t find anything related to this. If I missed something I apologize and please send me a link to the thread.

I have a couple of scripts that manipulate files base on there extensions. I noticed that a couple of files failed to process every time.

What I found confuses me.

tell application "Finder"
get name extension of document file "test.txt" of folder "tmp" of home
--> "txt"
end tell

Result:

"txt"


tell application "Finder"
get name extension of document file "test.asc" of folder "tmp" of home
--> ""
end tell

Result:

""

tell application "Finder"
get name extension of document file "test.ascii" of folder "tmp" of home
--> ""
end tell

Result:

""
 Is this a known problem or am I missing something (most likely:-)? This happens on both 10.6.7 and 10.5.8


I get the same behavior but for me it's not a problem because I don't ask this kind of info to the Finder but to System Events which returns the wanted info asc or ascii.
