I'm working on a script that will open a text file and copy text into a new document. This part I have no trouble with. But what text is copied will depend on who the user is that is running the script. So here's my question. How can I find out who the user is? I know that the user will have a particular volume mounted (because the script will be run from this volume). Is there a way in MacPerl to find out how the user is logged on, ie the user name? Any ideas out there? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I know this is a MacPerl group, but I'd settle for an AppleScript solution too if anyone know one. Thanks again. ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
