Hi All,
pls suggest how do i delete config file with permissions, with my scripts .cfg file is not deleting. I tried with applescript and shell script both, but its not working.. and also its not asking for permissions as well..
tell application "System Events"
delete file "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/abc.cfg"
end tell
do shell script "rm -f /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/abc.cfg"Mac OS X (10.7.4)
If you use 'do shell script' you'll need to escape the spaces in path, either by quoting the entire path, or by using backslashes:
do shell script "rm -f '/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/abc.cfg'"The 'pure' AppleScript solution likely doesn't work because System Events isn't used to handling files. Try asking the Finder to delete the file instead.
Of course, both methods assume you have sufficient privileges.
