Corny & Jon

well if nothing else I'm learning something here...
just to confirm:

OS 9.2.2, Applescript 1.6, Scripting Additions (as left after 9.2.2
upgrade and with some independent osaxen), and updated with Jons
Commands 2.1.2.

I've used the Jon Pugh example of Walk Folders and inserted the
beginning of Corny's code.
It works like a rocket, except when I insert the" info for " line

Its all up to this:


-- on Folly

-- become frustrated

script processFolder

property fileList : {}

on open (theFile)

set thisItemsPath to theFile as string

copy theFile as string to end of fileList

here is the problem(?):

set thisItemsInfo to info for thisItemsPath



--display dialog theFile as string

return fileList

end open

end script




set theFiles to choose folder with prompt "Please choose a folder or
disk to catalog."

set fl to walk folders theFiles with script processFolder

display dialog (number of items of fl) as string


Error message:
"Script Debugger got an error: File
G4Mitch:Documents:OfficeDB:Scripts:Mike's Scriptable Progress
Bar:Archive Contents wasn't found."

This is the first file in the folder.

does this help?

why don't you have to specify the "Finder" for the info for ? (It
doesn't work either in a Finder tell statement.
