I have some iCal export files I want to select with the answer file
command. I'd like to limit the answer file selection to just the
iCal export files.
Two questions:
What are the scripts I would use on MacOSX, Windows, and Unix to
limit the selection in answer file to be just the iCal export files?
How did you determine the file type or filter with parameters to
use for each of the answer file scripts?
I found a format that works on Mac OS X.
answer file "select the .ics file" with type "iCal file|ics"
that is "iCal file" then a pipe "|" then the file suffix without the
dot "ics"
"iCal file" can be seen as the "Kind" of file in the Mac OS X finder
window with the files in a list. The file suffix is visible as part
of the file name. The example I pulled this from had a file type as
the third element "iCal file|ics|RCSK" where "RCSK" would be the
Finder File Type but this appears to be optional.
This is not an example displayed in the "answer file command" docs.
The pipe as a separator is not in any example in the answer file
command docs and the examples there imply that you need wildcard dot
before the file suffix "*.ics" versus just "ics"
My questions above still remain but at least now I have a way to
select specific file suffixes on the Mac.
Thanks,
Kee Nethery
