Re: getting the date, next question

Entity Simon Kidd spoke thus:

> set foldername to days_date
> tell application "Finder"
> activate
> make new folder at folder "Documents" of folder "Toby" of
> folder "Users" of disk "PowerMac_HD" with properties {name:foldername}
> reveal result
> end tell

I probably say something like:
(don't forget to unwrap these lines to run the script)


set newFolder to " New folder" -- or whatever string

tell application "Finder"
activate
set folderPath to (folder "Documents" of home) as alias
make new folder at folder folderPath
set the name of folder ((folderPath as string) & "untitled folder") to
newFolder
set folderPath to (folderPath as string) & newFolder
open alias folderPath
end tell


Where folderPath is the path to your folder. You can see there are no
disknames or such here, it will run on any machine. Strive to make your
scripts portable.
