I need to find a file using Applescript. Applescript is so slow. Someone on the Apple forums gave me some unix code and it works for the most part. The ls command is really list and not find but when it works, it returns the path to the file instantly, NOT 45 seconds Applescript takes.
here is the path to the folder:
Code:
/volumes/DW/700Club/AVSHEET/WorldReach now CBN International/AFRICA/
here is the name of the file:
AFRICA1 Faso, Burkina.doc
here is the shell script I am using that does not work:
text_returned is the result of a dialog box, in this example its AFRICA1
Code:
set the_AVSheet to (do shell script "ls '/volumes/DW/700Club/AVSHEET/WorldReach now CBN International/AFRICA/" & text_returned & "' '*")
can anyone help me get this to work with either ls or a find command. Thank you very much.
I am an audio post engineer who searches a dozen servers for the file I need and write code to help me find the file instead of me clicking 50 times through a folder structure that is brutal. Thanks for any help.

gnutls_crypto_mac_register2(3) gnutls gnutls_crypto_mac_register2(3)NAME
gnutls_crypto_mac_register2 - register a mac interface
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_crypto_mac_register2(int priority, int version, gnutls_crypto_mac_st * s);
ARGUMENTS
int priority
is the priority of the mac interface
int version should be set to GNUTLS_CRYPTO_API_VERSION
gnutls_crypto_mac_st * s
is a structure holding new interface's data
DESCRIPTION
This function will register a mac interface to be used by gnutls. Any interface registered will override the included engine and by conven-
tion kernel implemented interfaces should have priority of 90. The interface with the lowest priority will be used by gnutls.
This function should be called before gnutls_global_init().
For simplicity you can use the convenience gnutls_crypto_mac_register() macro.
RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise an error.
SINCE
2.6.0
