This script gives "stack overflow".
What is wrong?
Anyone?
get random number from 1000 to 3000
set x to result
set search_for_file to alias "Macintosh HD:images_to_database:Documents:"
set myListforfile to list folder search_for_file without invisibles
repeat with myFilename in myListforfile
set myfile to alias ("Macintosh HD:images_to_database:Documents:" &
myFilename)
end repeat
set fileName of myfile to (x & ".doc" as string)
Best regards

--the coercion to alias of the concation is too much for the compiler so
--parenthesis are required.
