I found the following for a terminal command to get file info. http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/165095/is-there-a-similar-functionality-of-get-info-cmdi-from-the-mac-os-x-termina So it says use the mdls command So then I put it in a shell function in a LiveCode Script. http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/165095/is-there-a-similar-functionality-of-get-info-cmdi-from-the-mac-os-x-termina on mouseUp answer File "Select file to get info on..." put it into tFilePath put shell( "mdls" && tFilepath) into tFileInfo put tFileInfo into field 1 end mouseUp Then you get the following data in tFileInfo that you would then parse for the data you want. ------------------------------- kMDItemAlternateNames = ( "MyFile.rtf" ) kMDItemContentCreationDate = 2016-01-11 15:04:45 +0000 kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2016-01-11 15:04:45 +0000 kMDItemContentType = "public.rtf" kMDItemContentTypeTree = ( "public.rtf", "public.text", "public.data", "public.item", "public.content" ) kMDItemDateAdded = 2016-01-11 15:04:45 +0000 kMDItemDisplayName = "MyFile" kMDItemFSContentChangeDate = 2016-01-11 15:04:45 +0000 kMDItemFSCreationDate = 2016-01-11 15:04:45 +0000 kMDItemFSCreatorCode = "" kMDItemFSFinderFlags = 16 kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon = (null) kMDItemFSInvisible = 0 kMDItemFSIsExtensionHidden = 1 kMDItemFSIsStationery = (null) kMDItemFSLabel = 0 kMDItemFSName = "MyFile.rtf" kMDItemFSNodeCount = (null) kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID = 20 kMDItemFSOwnerUserID = 501 kMDItemFSSize = 332 kMDItemFSTypeCode = "" kMDItemKind = "Rich Text Document" kMDItemLastUsedDate = 2016-01-11 15:04:45 +0000 kMDItemLogicalSize = 332 kMDItemPhysicalSize = 4096 kMDItemUseCount = 1 kMDItemUsedDates = ( "2016-01-11 05:00:00 +0000" ) ----------------------------- Martin -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Getting-Finder-results-into-LiveCode-tp4700069p4700072.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
