XML text to Record

  • Subject: XML text to Record
  • From: Luther Fuller <email@hidden>

I've been working on a script this afternoon.
It contains these two lines ...

do shell script "hdiutil imageinfo -plist " & imagePath -- get info about a disk image file
set response to the result -- text in xml format

At this point my script needs this information as a record.
So I need to ...

1. Write response to a text file, in temporary items folder, with name extension .plist.
2. Tell "System Events" to read the value of this .plist file
    into the record "imageinfoRecord"
3. Delete the temporary file.

I've tested this and it works, BUT ...

Is there any way to directly convert response into imageinfoRecord without steps 1 thru 3 ?
