file.resolveAlias
| Syntax |
file.resolveAlias (path)
|
| Params |
path is a legal path name to the alias file whose parent (or original) file you wish to identify.
|
| Action |
If path is an alias, returns the parent of the alias. If path is a regular file, returns path.
|
| Returns |
A string containing the path of the parent, or the original file if it isn't an alias.
|
| Examples |
file.resolveAlias ("System:System Folder:Startup Items:UserLand Frontier alias") "System:Frontier 1.0:UserLand Frontier"
|
| Platform Notes |
This verb is only implemented in the Mac OS version of Frontier.
|
| Notes |
This verb is similar to file.followAlias, but it's safe to call it on a regular file. If path is an alias, but the parent file no longer exists, file.resolveAlias will return the empty string.
