Clipboard use


  • Subject: Clipboard use

I need to take the value that is returned when a user chooses a folder via
a prompt and copy it to the clipboard. I've tried doing it this way:
set dpath to choose folder with prompt "locate Data Folder"
copy dpath to clipboard

However I get an error saying "can't set clipboard to alias". I've tried
adding an AS STRING to the code to return the value as a string instead of
as an alias or folder to no avail.
