solved Variables with POSIX

[BenjaminO]

Hello folks 👋,

 

I am trying to transform a path into POSIX into a workflow using using variables and AppleScript. Unfortunately it seems that some characters are transformed in the process making the path name false sometimes. Here's an example :

 

My workflow

 

The variable

 

The script (AppleScript) :

set sourceFolder to POSIX file (system attribute "_sourceFolder")

set theDialogText to "Original folder path" & return & (system attribute "_sourceFolder") & return & return & "POSIX folder path" & return & sourceFolder

display dialog theDialogText

 

The output

 

The Large Text output (working = expectation !!)

 

Large text code = {var:_sourceFolder}

 

I'd would expect that {var:_sourceFolder} and (system attribute "_sourceFolder") returns the same result in this situation. Any help would be super appreciated ! Many thanks in advance 🙏
