Title: Re: Applescript to search
filenames
One possible solution:
set D to choose folder
set B to {}
tell application "Finder"
set D
to ((files of entire contents of D) as alias
list)
repeat
with f in D
set N to name of contents of f
set O to owner of contents of
f
if text 1 of N is " " then
set end of B to N & ": " & O
end repeat
end tell

I would like to create an Applescript
application that will search a specified directory for a string of
text, or illegal characters. The app will create a file with the
path to the found text, the owner of the file, and the creation
date.
I would also like to see statistics on how many "bad" files
have been found, and who the common offenders are.
The reason this is being considered is because we have several people
ignoring our naming conventions, and creating folders with a 'space'
as the first character. While this works fine on Apple OS's, it
creates problems with archiving and maintaining the same conventions
across several facilities. I feel it has become necessary to
document the offenders and inconsistencies in naming to solve our
problem.
Do any applications like this exist already?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Best,
David
