Hmmmmm. I'm finding that it doesn't return files in subfolders.


It does not! Mostly because it was not asked to!

I have a folder with 86 text clippings, that also contains three other folders of text clippings.

------
set x to every file of folder "the:path:" whose file type = "clpt"
get the number of items in x
=> 86
------

Is there some additional language that is necessary? Isn't this why Jon Pugh's "walk folders" is so valuable?

This ought to do what you want (partially, since you never said what you want)

---Walking folders---
tell application "Finder"
set FolderToInspect to choose folder
set FolderToInspect to folder FolderToInspect
set initialFiles to {}
my ViewName(FolderToInspect, initialFiles)
end tell

on ViewName(thisFolder, AllFiles)
tell application "Finder"
set end of AllFiles to every file of thisFolder
set lista to every folder of thisFolder
repeat with itm in lista
my ViewName(itm, AllFiles)
end repeat
end tell
return AllFiles
end ViewName

___End____


Make the changes you deem appropriate.
