Description
Converts a FileMaker path useful for "filemac:" and "filewin:" path specification to a native path.The difference between a native path and a FileMaker path on Mac is, that FileMaker expects to have the Disk Name in front followed by the rest of the path. Mac OS X functions require paths from the root disk to start without volume name. Other disks have paths starting with "/Volumes/name".
This function does not work for relative paths.
Examples
Convert path to native path:
MBS( "Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath"; "/Macintosh HD/Users/test/Desktop/picture.jpg")
