I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to copy the resource fork data
from one file to another. Currently, I am using the following (in a nutshell):
file1 = ('Macintosh HD:TEST.EPS')
file2 = ('Macintosh HD:TEST2.EPS')
x = MacOS.openrf(file2, 'w')
y = MacOS.openrf(file1, 'w')
input = y.read(1000000) # <---- This is the problem part!
x.write(input)
x.close
y.close
If I do the following for the problem line:
input = y.read()
then I get a the following TypeError:
TypeError: function requires exactly 1 argument; 0 given
I'm pretty new to Python and this is my first attempt at using it on a Mac
so I'm sure there is a better way to do this (I hope!).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
