Just another newbie question.
If I write :
set itemcount to count every item of folder theFolder_dok
set Dialog1 to "File(s) copied : " & itemcount
Everything is OK.
Now, if I write :
set itemcount to count every item of folder theFolder_dok
set Dialog1 to itemcount & " file(s) copied."
I get no dialog.
Known ?
itemcount is a number
"file(s) copied" is a string
In the first example AppleScript is auto coercing the number to a
string because of the order it encounters them.
In the second example it doesn't. What you actually get is a list:
{1, "file(s) copied"}
Try this:
set Dialog1 to (itemcount as string) & " file(s) copied."
