Launch Finder window with specific files selected

Question

I\'m trying to programmatically launch an OS X Finder window from an Xcode project. I need the window to open to a specific folder and have specific files within that folder

Answer 1

Another AppleScript flavor - the Finder's reveal command will both open a window to the containing folder and select the item(s). If there are multiple containing folders, multiple Finder windows will be opened.

tell application "Finder" 
   to reveal {someAlias, "path/to/POSIXfile" as POSIX file, etc}
