wildcard for directory selection


  • Subject: wildcard for directory selection
  • From: Matthew Galaher <email@hidden>

I wish to be able to type the first x number of characters in a file name in a dialog, and then have the finder select/open the first match. So if I have directories named:

Volumes/Production/client/content/0073_foobar
Volumes/Production/client/content/0074_barfoo
Volumes/Production/client/content/0075_foobar

the dilalog would only need '0075' to open directory 0075_foobar

Is this something that would be best to have Applescript talking to terminal.app?

TIA
