I need to duplicate a file or make an alias of a file from one foldler
to a fixed name file/alias in another folder. what is the proper
syntax?
Here is the code I have so far:
set sourceFolder to "Mac-OS-X:Users:dennisj:Documents:Cathy:Data -
Rawx:" as string
set theFile to "050315-CATHY-H05058.txt" as string
set sourceFile to (sourceFolder & theFile) as alias
set importFile to "Mac-OS-X:Users:dennisj:Documents:Cathy:Data -
Importx:import.txt" as alias
tell application "Finder"
-- duplicate sourceFile to importFile with replacing -- doesn't work
-- or --
-- make FinderAlias of sourceFile as importFile -- not even close
end tell
--
