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 ?
Not just known, correct. If you look at the execution error, you'll
get a major clue. The "&" operator behaves differently depending on
the type of the left-hand operand: if it's text, you get a text
result; if it's anything else, you get a list. (This is documented
in the AppleScript Language Guide.) "Display dialog" can display
text, but not a list.
