This is probably a Stupid Terminal Question (tm), but how do I figure out what that non-printing character is, and then incorporate it into my script?

Others answered your other questions, so I won't repeat that. In the future, if you need to figure out what the character is, I'd just pipe it through xxd.


$ echo -ne 'Icon\r'|xxd
0000000: 4963 6f6e 0d                             Icon.

That brings us to the second part, how to incorporate it into your script. Using the above should work:
file=`echo -ne "/path/to/bundle/blah/Icon\r"`


-n suppresses the newline and -e interprets escapes. I've seen echos that didn't handle -e (and I can't recall if the BSD one Mac OS X ships with does) so you could use perl:

$ perl -e "print qq{/path/to/bundle/blah/Icon\r}"

Thanks. Out of all the suggestions, this one turned out to be the only one that worked for me.


For reference, here's the working script:

# Add custom icon (adding CFBundleIconFile to plist and .icns file in /Resources doesn't work, so we have to duplicate what happens when you paste an icon into the Finder Get Info window)

# copy custom icon into top level of bundle and rename to "Icon" with a *trailing CR*. path_to_icon is the path to the source icon file, already in the correct format ('icns' resource ID -16455 in resource fork), but with different filename.

cp <path_to_icon> "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.${WRAPPER_EXTENSION}/"$(echo -ne "Icon\r")

# make custom icon file invisible

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.${WRAPPER_EXTENSION}/"$(echo -ne "Icon\r")

# mark the bundle folder as having a custom icon

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a C "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.${WRAPPER_EXTENSION}"
