How to pass file path to AppleScript in Automator? -

i want able right click on file or folder in finder , select services > open terminal open terminal window @ path.

in automator, have service runs applescript

tell application "terminal"     script "cd $filepath"     activate end tell 

i don't know how pass file path!

bonus: how can ensure works both files , folders? if file, may file not directory.

bonus: have found answer myself? documentation seems way dense.

thanks

note "service receives selected ... " @ top, gives result applescript. open folders , containers of files, won't redundant.

on run {input, parameters}     set didthese {}     repeat f in input         set f (f text)         if f ends ":"             if f in didthese --check see if did                 --ignore             else                 tell application "terminal" script "cd " & quoted form of posix path of f                 set didthese (didthese & f) --load memory subsequent iterations of loop             end if         else             --first containing folder, use             tell application "finder" set f ((container of alias f) alias text)             if f in didthese                 --ignore             else                 tell application "terminal" script "cd " & quoted form of posix path of f                 set didthese (didthese & f)             end if         end if     end repeat     activate application "terminal" end run

[edit:] incidentally, 1 thing left decide how treat bundles, .app files, aren't files. using

set info (alias f) 

then

package folder of 

will enable script determine this, through additional if/then branch. don't mind "cd"ing bundles.
