G’day

I’ve been using Shanes code to save new files under 10.12.2 with great results, until I tried to handle os file name "MM Testing 12/20/16.pdf”.

Then the handler returned an error…

Attachment saving error p = 102 File file Brian's Disk:Users:OzSanta:Desktop:Mail Manager Folder:Temporary Printing:2017 01 04 054841:MM Testing 12:20:16.pdf wasn’t found. number = -43

which I supposed is to be expected. The code is below…

Are there any alterations I can make that will allow the use of a forward slash in a file name?

Yvan, will your code posted on 28th December handle this dilemma?

(1) Your problem is related to the fact that when a filename contains a slash, Mail doesn't return its Hfs name but it's Posix one.
Your attached file is named "MM Testing 12/20/16.pdf” but the name returned by Mail is "MM Testing 12:20:16.pdf”.
As the rest of your script use Hfs path it logically fails.

You would have to use something like :

use AppleScript version "2.4"
use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions

#…
set originalPOSIXName to "MM Testing 12:20:16.pdf" # Maybe this POSIX version would be useful somewhere
copy originalPOSIXName to originalName
if originalName contains ":" then set originalName to my replace:originalName existingString:":" newString:"/"
--> "MM Testing 12/20/16.pdf"
#…
on replace:sourceString existingString:d1 newString:d2
set sourceString to current application's NSString's stringWithString:sourceString
return (sourceString's stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:d1 withString:d2) as text
end replace:existingString:newString:

CAUTION: the replace handler used here is not the one used in one of my mauls of december 28th.
