**Function:** Turns files and folders into a list of UNIX (POSIX) paths, which can be used with shell scripts.
**Author**: [Emanuele "l0ne" Vulcano](mailto:millenomi@gmail.com)
**Input**: File and folder references.
**Result**: An AppleScript list of paths which can be used with the Execute Shell Script action, or with other actions that accept a set of UNIX paths or text.
**Notes**: This Action, based on [this post](http://www.automatorworld.com/2005/05/20/sanitize-filenames-for-shell-scripts/), returns the path(s) of the input file/folders and optionally sanitizes them by surrounding them in quotes. The action will show up in the System category, and an Italian localization is included. It works best as a Contextual Menu Plug-in: Copy into ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/ [For users who have downloaded the [Get Path](http://www.automatorworld.com/2005/04/28/get-path/) workflow, this action runs *much* faster - Steve]
