Subject: | Converting disk icon names to DOS devices |
I asked this question on the OS 3.9 mailing list, but didn't get much
of a response. I am working on an Arexx script that reorganizes
Workbench disk icons (actually any icons on the Workbench) into a
preprogrammed order after bootup. But I have a need to convert icon
names to DOS device names, so
"Workbench" becomes "DH0:"
"Empty" becomes "DF0:"
"Ram Disk" becomes "RAM:"
etc., etc. I can do this by running the info command and parsing it
to death, but think there should be a more straightforward (and
faster) way. Does anybody have any advice?
Thanks,
Todd
