unstuffing files/folder

Hi All,

I have a “.sit” file and I want to Unstuff it through Applescript. Have any idea.

I have written this way:

tell application "Stuffit Expander"
choose with prompt "choose sit file"
expand
end tell

But it is not running.
One more thing I want to develop as droplet of it. Since I have never develop any droplet so please help me as you can do.

Regards,
Rajeev

The presence of an open handler is what turns an applet into a droplet, Rajeev.

The example below has an open handler that should expand dropped files for you (either individually or in multiples). The (implicit) run handler is included so that, when the droplet is double-clicked, it can also behave like a regular applet.

Save this script as an application:

on open l
	tell application "StuffIt Expander" to expand l
end open
open (choose file with prompt "Choose a file to expand:")
