Thanks for this Ian. I've a couple of questions if not anything to add...

- The applescript you start with.... I guess this deals with file
names on Mac that contain the "/" character for instance? What exaclty does
"set tOut to POSIX path of tPath" do?

Pretty much all it does is add the volume name if the filepath isn't on the system partition.

- I use this command to escape any parameter in a shell command that
may contain strange chars - for instance comments. I guess your function
applies to these as well?

Pretty much.

Ian

on shell_BashParamEscape @someParam
 replace space with ("\" & space) in someParam
 replace "|" with ("\" & "|") in someParam
 replace "(" with "\(" in someFile
 replace ")" with "\)" in someFile
end shell_BashParamEscape
