Hi there,

From: Bjorn Van Blanckenberg <email@hidden>

I have troubles with
set thePath to (POSIX path of fromF) as string
...
set theStr to theStr & " " & ((POSIX path of toF) as string)
do shell script theStr

Something that work in OSX with applescript version 1.8
and not in OS 9.1 and applescript 1.6

Oh, sorry - I assumed you were on OS X seeing as you were using "/" folder delimiters.

So yes the above won't work for you because I'm scripting the shell - which is for OS X.

I avoided scripting the Finder to doing the final copies because I thought this would be faster.

on copy_files(fromF, toF, theList)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with i from 1 to the number of items in theList
duplicate ((fromF & ":" & (item i of the_list)) as alias) to ,
(toF as alias) with replacing
end repeat
end tell
end copy_files

with regards,
