[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 343655, member: 25890"] Okay, here's how you do it. It's free too. Open TextEdit and set your preference to use the format of Plain Text. Have a TextEdit window open. Open a Finder window. Use either the Icon or Column view to see the file you want; the List view will work, but depending on how you get to the file the result might not yield the full path. Highlight your desired file, and ensure the current subdirectory is displayed in the Finder title. Click on the icon in the Finder title, and hold it until it appears highlighted. While not instantaneous, it will happen quickly. Drag the icon to the TextEdit window. Voila, you should see the full directory path for your file! I tried dragging one of the icons here in the message creation window at Mac-Forums, but nothing happened. You may find you can drag the icon into your mail tool. If not, just drag it to the TextEdit tool - again, in Plain Text mode - and you'll get the path. All you do then is highlight, cut/copy, and paste. (Fwiw, if you use RTF mode, Rich Text Format mode, you'll get the folder icon without the path.) Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
