I know this has been answered before but I cannot find it in the
archives.
(on a Mac OSX 10.5 system)
I am receiving files via FTP that have several spaces and cannot
remember how to do:
put "/Users/username/Documents/feed/" into pathh
set the defaultfolder to pathh
get the detailed files
put item 1 of line 1 of it into FN
put url ("file:" & pathh & FN) into dataBlock -- < does not work
The file name on the hard drive is "ALL BOOKS AND ARTICLES VOL 1.xml"
The variable FN is "ALL+BOOKS+AND+ARTICLES+VOL+1.xml"
Replacing the + chars in FN does not work either.
Perhaps the answer is to use a shell() command?
Thanks for any advice.
