I've been trying to write a handler that compares two folders
("folderOne" and "folderTwo") and returns a list "(inOneNotInTwo") of
the files that are in folderOne but not in folderTwo. For now I'm
willing to suppose that folderOne and folderTwo contain files only. I
would then use this list in the calling Finder script to do some file
moving, copying, etc.
I wrote a handler that does list comparison for strings, but am
having trouble understanding how to get it to work with lists of file
specs or aliases. My check of the archives hasn't struck pay dirt yet
- can anyone give me a clue?
Thanks.
