Hi,
How do I obtain a NSFileHandle to this file which has a forward
slash in the name to be able to write to this file.
Supplying the path to NSFileHandle with filename in quotes also
fails.
If not possible is there any other way to write to such a file.
I can't use open(), as the file name could contain chars from
other language.
This file is only presented as having a '/' in the Finder UI (and
hopefully other places that present filenames on-screen). At the
filesystem level, that '/' is really a ':' (to avoid clashing with
the '/' directory seperator character). Just replace the '/' with
a ':' and you'll be set.
In fact, this is the contrary. It is presented as having a colon at
the UNIX level, but really have a slash at the FS level.

True (on HFS and HFS-derived systems). I'd call that more of an
implementation detail though - It's not as if the filenames are stored
on disk as UTF-8 strings either, but I'd still way that 'at the
filesystem level', from an API-user's perspective, that's true.
Anyway, for someone who just wants to open a file, this is a bit
academic. The API's require UTF-8, and accept ':' characters, but not
'/' characters. '/' characters displayed in the Finder must be
translated to ':' characters for interaction with the filesystem APIs,
and vice-versa.
