Hi Thierry


in fact, I use a shell function to use spotlight

function mdfind pQuery
   -- This one find matching files based on a given query.
   return shell("mdfind" && pQuery)
end mdfind


   ask "Quel mot" as sheet
   if it is empty then exit to top
   put it into tSearch
   put mdfind(tSearch) into tmp

the variable "tmp" contains "unreadable" pathToFile
I hoped with your function to retrieve the files given with the  
pathToFile
but it doesn't work ...

Perhaps you have a tip ?

Thanks.
