I want to make a folder, "myFolder", in the current user's
Library/Application Support folder, creating the Application Support
folder, if necessary. I know how to script the Finder to make
folders on the desktop, but I'm stuck when working in the library.
I'm having problem dealing with (1) accessing the library folder and
(2) testing for and creating folders several levels deep. How do I
do this?
(1) can be found in the dictionary of StandardAdditions.osax:
--------------------
path to application support from user domain
--------------------
(2) example:
-------------------- not tested
set theContainer to (path to application support from user domain) as text
try
alias (theContainer & "myFolder")
-- "myFolder" exists at said location
on error
-- "myFolder" does not exist: create it
tell app "Finder" to make new folder at (alias theContainer)
with properties {name:"myFolder"}
end try
