How do I create a new folder in MacOS X with AS? Say I'm user
filemak, and I want to create the folder "Backup 8-01-02" on my
desktop. I tried:
make new folder at "Data:Users:filemak:Desktop:Backup 8-01-02"
but get an error "Finder got an error: can't get some object".
In OS X a fast and concise way is:
----
do shell script "cd; cd *ktop*; mkdir 'Backup 8-01-02'; cd; open Des*"
----
(*
cd; targets your user directory
cd *ktop*; changes directory to a unique directory containing 'ktop'
mkdir 'name'; creates a directory
open Des*; opens any unique directory named Des....
*)
In earlier OS :-
----
set there to path to desktop
tell application "Finder"
try
make folder in there with properties {name:"Backup 8-01-02"}
on error e
tell me to return display dialog return & e giving up after 2
end try
open there
end tell
