Yes, I use the 'ditto' command through shell. Depending on your OS, you do
this:
10.3 or later:
ditto --rsrc <pathToFile> <pathToDestFolder>
10.2 and earlier:
ditto -rsrc <pathToFile> <pathToDestFolder>
Note the extra hyphen (-) for 10.3.
Because I don't like to use quotes at the UNIX command line, I use this
function to return a properly escaped path:
function FormatPath pPath
put "\" & space & quote & "'`<>!;()[]?#$^&*=" into tSpecialChars
repeat for each char tChar in tSpecialChars
replace tChar with ("\" & tChar) in pPath
end repeat
return pPath
end FormatPath
HTH,
