If you're using NSTask, there's no need to do anything about spaces. You can just pass the entire pathname as a single argument of the NSTask.

Ooh, this is a good one, thanks. Took me a second to find in the Applescript Language Guide. set the app_list to {"iTunes", "Mail", "Safari", "Terminal"} ignoring application responses repeat with i in app_list tell application i to open end repeat end ignoring

perl -n -e 'm$<Ref href = "(.*)" />$;`curl -O $1`' /users/me/desktop/dirwithallthewaxfiles/*

Use this handy perl oneliner. If you have a file full of things like "<Ref href = "http://www.websitegoeshere.org/dir/filename.ext" />" then this will extract and download them all using curl. Assuming the file is named asxfile perl -n -e 'm$<Ref href = "(.*)" />$;`curl -O $1`' < asxfile

You only have to generate a key once on your machine. If you WANT to, you can use multiple keys, but you'll need to use the -i option to tell ssh/scp which key to use. That can get real tedious. cfleck: As I pointed out, you would use keypair authentication so that you don't need to enter...

It's not complicated to generate and distribute a key. You would use key-pair authentication to avoid entering your password for each copy, so you could use scp in scripts. You only need to generate a key once, and only transfer it once to each server you need authorization on. Here's the...

do shell script "curl --upload-file file.txt --user login:password ftp://server.com"

Instead of using an <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT">, try <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON">. A button can have an javascript onMouseDown handler and will not submit the form.

Try using the tool Icon Compositor which is included with the Developer Tools. Look in /Developer/Applications/Utilities.

Yes, there is a way to make such a program. How is entirely up to you.

If you follow the Model-View-Controller paradigm, you should have a controller type object which responds to input via IBActions and handles app initialization. If you want to set a window's parameters at app initialization, you would generally do it in the controller's method -(void)...

All three of those questions can be answered with a quick trip to the NSWindow and NSPanel documentation pages. Some of the options aren't available from within Interface Builder, so here you go...

Where did you read that Panther could be used with the older developer tools? IIRC Xcode shipped alongside Panther, so I don't see any reason for you to use PB. Did you really have a hard enough time using Xcode alongside the book that you had to go back? That being said, that linker flag...

You cannot develop software for OS 8.6 or OS 9 using Xcode. You have to use Codewarrior or MPW for that, which is more of a pain in the ass than I'd like to go into at the moment.

Screw performance reasons. The slowness is NOT where you think it is. [NSString stringWithFormat:@"this is another string: %@", anotherString]
