Hi,
Machines at one of my sites running OS 9 used to
run the following startup script:
delay 20
tell application "Finder"
activate
select every item of container window of
folder "Templates" of folder "Microsoft Office
2001" of folder "Applications (Mac OS 9)" of
startup disk
delete selection
select every item of container window of
folder "Templates" of folder "Server II" of disk
"DATA"
copy selection to folder "Templates" of
folder "Microsoft Office 2001" of folder
"Applications (Mac OS 9)" of startup disk
empty trash
end tell
tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "Microsoft Word" of folder "
Applications" of folder "Apple Menu Items" of
folder "System Folder" of startup disk
open selection
end tell
This would delete the contents of the Templates
folder and copy over fresh files from the Master
on the server and then launch Word.
Under OS X, I've tried to record a script but the
"copy" and "delete" actions don't seem to be in
the Finder's dictionary anymore. Running "record"
and following the above sequence, all I get is:
tell application "Finder"
activate
make new Finder window to startup disk
make new Finder window to folder "Applications" of startup disk
make new Finder window to folder "Microsoft
Office X" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
make new Finder window to disk "DATA"
make new Finder window to folder "Server II" of disk "DATA"
end tell
Any idea as to how I can replicate the functionality of the original script?
