Two different users get different results.

For me, the specific editing has always (well, about 12 times) resulted in
Entourage 2004 quitting unexpectedly; for a Microsoft tester, Entourage 2004
never quit with the editing steps described.

I'm including the message at the end of this message; I'll first send this
message to myself and see if the quitting still occurs during editing of
this message.

(Addendum: I sent this message to myself and the quitting still occurred
when I did the editing steps. Since I'm adding this sentence and since the
list server will add an unsubscribe footer, I'll try the editing again once
the message appears on the list and report my results.)

The specific editing is:

* highlight the two lines beginning with

Hey everyone,  Maybe one of you guys ......

* press the delete key to delete those two lines
* press the delete key again
* press command-<down arrow> (My editing preference is set to not Use the
Microsoft Office keyboard shortcuts for editing [under Preferences > General
Preferences > General]. If you are using the Microsoft Office keyboard
shortcuts, command-<End> might have the same effect - I can't tell as my
keyboard doesn't have an End key.)

At that point, Entourage 2004 quits for me.

What result do you get?

Try giving the full path ----
"Macintosh HD:Users:cpruitt:Desktop:CCBelief.rtf"

If you have different name for your startup disk then provide that name
where Macintosh HD is placed.

Subject: [spam] Converting unix styled path (string) to Mac path?


Hey everyone,  Maybe one of you guys can help me cause I'm ripping my
hair out here... ;-(

I'm new to applescript & the languages on the web that I've dealt with
before seem to be much better at coercion.  Though in all fairness the
need for data types is much less in that setting.  I'm trying to write a
really simple (I thought) script that gets a value for a cell and then
uses that as a path and reveals that file in the finder.  If I use the
value from the cell (text string) it generates an error, but if I try
typing in the exact same path into the script itself, it runs no
problem.

So If anyone can explain to me how to convert a Unix Styled path as a
text string into a path that AppleScript can actually use I'd really
appreciate it a lot.  I know it should be simple but I just apparently
lave less of an understanding than I thought I did.

heres my script:

property cellValueText : "-empty-"

tell application "OmniOutliner"
    activate
    set cellValueText to text of cell 2 of selected row of document 1
end tell

-- cellValueText is now set to:
--    "/Users/cpruitt/Desktop/CCBelief.rtf"

tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set openPath to cellValueText
    reveal openPath
end tell

--    Generates Error:
--    Finder got an error: Can't get
"/Users/cpruitt/Desktop/CCBelief.rtf".
