When I use answer file on a parallels share folder (one from the MacOS) I get
something like this:
C:/Mac/Home/Desktop/patch1.hex
When I use the dir command it correctly resolves the path, but cannot find the
file:
U:\>dir /T:W "C:/Mac/Home/Desktop/patch1.hex"
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is D892-E6EA
Directory of C:\Mac\Home\Desktop
File Not Found
U:\>
But this works:
U:\>dir /T:W "\\Mac\Home\Desktop\patch1.hex"
Volume in drive \\Mac\Home is Shared Folders
Volume Serial Number is 0000-0000
Directory of \\Mac\Home\Desktop
10/20/2023 12:06 AM 408 patch1.hex
1 File(s) 408 bytes
0 Dir(s) 393,116,905,472 bytes free
So in the first example it looks like Windows correctly resolves the file path,
but then cannot find the file!
I think what I need is a way to reliably convert a file path from the format
that Livecode uses to the format the command consolve can use. I could have
sworn that LC had a function to convert to and from Windows file paths, but I
can’t find it in the dictionary. I’ll probably have to roll my own.
