Unhiding Files using foundation tool

[Shawn R.]

I know I can do this using applscript, but what I would like to do is create a small application that will run the following commands in order to unhide files:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

Question: Can someone point me in the right direction in order to be able to send these commands to terminal? I looked up NSTask but apparently you can only use it once.

Thanks for the help.

Try the Unix library  "system"  call:

Code: (Objective-C)

system ("defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder");

Cheers,

Well thank you, I thought it was going to be much more complicated.
