I have playing with a method to get the comment from the Finder's Get Info window as follows:

<snip>

This works fine provided the file in the line:
appleScriptString = [appleScriptString stringByAppendingString:hfsStylePathString];
is a valid path.


However if I comment out the above line to simulate a null file name, I get the errors:
NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Can't get comment of file \"\".";
NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Finder got an error: Can't get comment of file \"\".";
NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1728;
NSAppleScriptErrorRange = <0000001f 00000007 >;


which I would expect, but the application also (sometimes) crashes.
I would have expected that, since an error was detected, a crash would not occur.
Is this a bug in NSAppleScript. or am I doing something else wrong?


TIA,
Jim Merkel

On which line is it crashing?

Charles
