Recognise a USB stick

Heya Folks,

Anyone got a command / function lying around that will find a USB stick on Mac/Win and return a path to it?

Warm regards,

A.

I guess that really depends on what kind of "USB-stick" you imply, and what "find" means. On the Mac you can use the system_profiler command via the shell to probe the USB-chain:

Code: Select all

put shell("system_profiler SPUSBDataType")

You could try "the volumes". It won't give you info about the type of device but it should list the name of the USB drive.
