One can transform these to paths to the production server on the lan

/Volumes/WWW/LIve_Sites/www.himalayanacademy.com/info/ advanced_search.html

and boot them into BBEdit using the launch command... But there are times when one wants a

"Show in Finder" command that will switch apps to the finder, and open the window-folder containing the file and select it... I believe this would be an Apple script thing... before I go digging, does anyone already have such a recipe?

Yes :-)

on mouseUp
  put fld 1 into pfad
 ## This is the filename!
 ## pfad = german for path

replace "/" with ":" in pfad
put "tell application " & quote & "Finder" & quote & cr & "activate" & cr & "select " & quote & (pfad) & quote & cr & "end tell" into tScript
do tScript as AppleScript
end mouseUp


There are differences in the way AppleScript sees file names & the way Revolution sees them, especially if they are on a remote server. Changing "/" to ":" will fix some, but not all. I reckon you are better to use revMacFromUnixPath to get from one to the other. here is the function I use - just pass it the Rev-style file path and it will show it in the Finder.

on showFileMac pFile
  put "tell application " & quote & "Finder" & quote & cr into tScript
  put "activate" & cr after tScript
  put revMacFromUnixPath(pFile) into pFile
  put "select file " & quote & pFile & quote & cr after tScript
  put "end tell" after tScript
  do tScript as AppleScript
end showFileMac

Cheers,
Sarah
