Hi folks
I am trying to move some large files (100+mb) but I keep getting Apple Event timeouts. Someone sent me a snippet of code which is suppose to check to see if a file is busy, if so its file type would be bzy. When ever I run the script I get the following error message
Finder got an error: Can't make some data into the expected type.
Here's the script snippet:
move file moveThis of thePath to the folder magFolder of dstFolder
repeat until (file type of file moveThis of folder magFolder of folder dstFolder is not equal to "bzy ")
end repeat
I tried this modification with the same error message:
if file type of file moveThis of folder magFolder of folder dstFolder is "bzy*" then
repeat until (file type of file moveThis of folder magFolder of folder dstFolder is not equal to "bzy ")
end repeat
end if
it doesn't seem to understand what file type I am looking for. Should the bzy type be 4 characters? Does it even exists? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
