Here is what I do and it works a peach. Assuming tPath is a valid path to a
folder:
if tPlatform contains "Win" then
replace "/" with "\" in tPath
put "explorer " & quote & tpath & quote into theCmd
put shell(theCmd) into theResult
else
put "property the_path : " & quote & tPath & quote & cr into theCmd
put "set the_folder to (POSIX file the_path) as alias" & cr after theCmd
put "tell application " & quote & "finder" & quote & cr after theCmd
put "activate" & cr after theCmd
put "reveal the_folder" & cr after theCmd
put "end tell" & cr after theCmd
do theCmd as appleScript
end if
This should probably also be in the master library.
