Title: re: Network / AS query
Hi Kai / Simon,
sorry for the delay in acknowledging your contributions - just didn't want to flood the list with 'thank-you's' until I had finished it...!
For the reference of the list, I replaced the following code (to find a file in nested folders, which worked fine in OS9, but not well at all in OSX):
=== bad code (!) ===
tell application "Finder" to set FolderList to get the name of every folder of folder jtServerPath
repeat with thisFolder in FolderList
set thisSubFolder to jtServerPath & ":" & thisFolder as string
try
tell application "Finder" to set filelist to (get the name of every file of folder thisSubFolder whose name = (jimmyVar & ".jt")) as list
repeat with thisFileName in filelist
set thisPath to (thisSubFolder as string) & ":" & thisFileName as string
end repeat
end try
end repeat
set jobTicketPath to thisPath
=====================
with the following, which is dramatically quicker:
=== good code (!) ===
set n to jimmyVar & ".jt"
try
tell application "Finder" to repeat with f in (get folder jtServerPath's folders)
if exists f's file n then set jobTicketPath to (f as string) & n
end repeat
end try
======================
So, all is good once more. Thanks again for your assistance!
James
