Apple

Hey Folks,

Huh? This produces a file url.

tell application "System Events"
set app_name to name of the first process whose frontmost is true
set _path to value of attribute "AXDocument" of the front window of application process app_name
end tell

Is there not a simple way to coerce that to an alias or posix path?

I found a way to do it with Perl and Python, but is there a simple way to do it with Applescript?

Thanks.

Hello

This may help :

activate application "Numbers"

tell application "System Events"

set app_name to name of the first process whose frontmost is true

set _path to value of attribute "AXDocument" of the front window of application process app_name

end tell

tell application "ASObjC Runner"

modify string _path so it is unescaped URI

--> "file://localhost/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/index archives.numbers/"

look for "file://localhost" in result replacing with ""

--> "/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/index archives.numbers/"

end tell

Of Course Shane will give it in the library format.
