Title: Re: Problem with dot_underscore files
John Jones said ...
Thanks for that great shell script, but unfortunately, once they're there,
the problem has already happened.  The destination folder is a watched
folder that receives publishing jobs for a automated CDR writer.  It's very
quick an basically reads the files as soon as the appear.  By the time the
dot files would be deleted, they'd have already created an error.

You might want to try something like this ...
Create the file in the invisible temporary items folder,
the one that opens when you ...

    tell application "Finder" to open window of (path to temporary items)

Modify the file, then duplicate it to the desired location,
then remove it from the temporary items folder.
