revCopyFile problems

[Scott Morrow]

Sarah,
I was having what I think was a similar problem a while back (trying  
to copy an AppleScriptExtension.osax from within a bundle to another  
folder) and Christian posted this shell script which, for me, worked  
like a charm.

Here is what you can do (in a script) :

put PathOfSourceFile (e.g. "/Library/Receipts/ 
BranchProposalSystem1.pkg")
into tSource
put PathOfDestination into tDestination (e.g. "/Users/userName/Desktop")
put ("cp -R -p "&quote&tSource&quote&&quote&tDestination&quote) into
tCommand
get shell(tCommand)

Cheers from little Luxembourg,

Christian
