Hi all:
Can anyone help me out with this. I'm validating file names and want to give the user some options when a wrong one is encountered. I'd like them to be able to rename or ignore a file. The way I was doing this is to have a list of files (that were added to a hot folder) and then loop through the list validating each file name and then moving them to their final destination. My code would go something like this:
repeat with thisItem in theNewItemList
set thisItem to thisItem as string
set magID to text 1 thru 2 of thisItem
if magIDArray does not contain magID then
display dialog "Error....with buttons {"Rename File", 'Ignore File"}
set selectedButton to result
set optionSelected to text of selectedButton as string
if optionSelected = "Rename File" then
display dialog "Enter new file name " default answer thisItem
else
HERE IS WHERE I GET STUCK - HOW DO I EXIT OUT OF THIS INSTANCE OF THE
REPEAT LOOP AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM IN THE LIST
end if --optionSelected
end if --magID check
end repeat --looping through new item list
Any help would be appreciated
Steve
