Hi,

Thanks for all the different ways to convert "date "Tuesday, 30 December, 2003 10.34.27am"" into something usable. I didn't know there were so many ways to skin a cat. So, now Ive made my folder:
-----------------
set foldername to days_date
tell application "Finder"
activate
make new folder at folder "Documents" of folder "Toby" of folder "Users" of disk "PowerMac_HD" with properties {name:foldername}
reveal result
end tell
------------------
I now want the script to move something into the new folder, but how do I refer to the new folder if I dont know its name? Something like:

set dayfolder to folder (foldername as string) of folder "Documents" of folder "Toby" of folder Users" of disk "PowerMac_HD"

doesn't seem to work.

thanks,

simon
