- Thread-topic: Replace names of files in different folders
Hi,
I think I found the solution to replace the "variable choose folder"
set BELGIUM_NL to "FileTransfer_BEL:EUROPEAN_PAGES:BELGIUM_NL:" as alias
set BELGIUM_FR to "FileTransfer_BEL:EUROPEAN_PAGES:BELGIUM_FR:" as alias
set jobs_list to ¬
{{folder_name:BELGIUM_NL, name_changes:{{"OG1H", "GF1F"}, {"OG2H",
"GF2F"}}}, ¬
{folder_name:BELGIUM_FR, name_changes:{{"OG1H", "GW1W"}, {"OG2H",
"GW2W"}}}}
repeat with job_ref in jobs_list
set source_folder to folder_name of job_ref
rename_items_in_folder(source_folder, name_changes of job_ref)
end repeat
...... (then rest of script)
Is this correct has? It seems to work.
Many thanks for your great feedback
jan
