Copy files from read-only folder without password

[1theo0]

Please help! I want my applescript to copy files from the system folder and place them inside the script bundle... In Finder, you don't need the password to copy files from read-only folders...

from
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ArtFile.bin
to
Contents:Resources:

this doesn't work:

set Backup to (path to me as string) & "Contents:Resources:"
set ArtFile to (path to me as string) & "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ArtFile.bin"
do shell script "cp -R" & quoted form of POSIX path of ArtFile & space & Backup

It gives me an "illegal option" error..
Please help me... Thank you!

Try this :

set theBackup to (path to me as string) & "Contents:Resources:"
set ArtFile to "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ArtFile.bin"
do shell script "cp " & quoted form of POSIX path of ArtFile & space & quoted form of POSIX path of theBackup
