I did a work around:

on folderMaker(topLevelPath, i)
set topLevelPath to topLevelPath as string
display dialog "Item" & i & ": Enter the name of the folder you are
creating. Please use the format SKU_DESCRIPTION_MODALITY" default answer
"EXAMPLE: 00001_RedShirt_HI"
set thisFolderName to text returned of result as string


set folderList to list folder (topLevelPath as alias) without invisibles
if folderList contains thisFolderName then
display dialog "This folder already exists, would you like to select
another name?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button "No"
else
set folderPath to topLevelPath & thisFolderName
display dialog "Make folder"
end if
end folderMaker



Hello

I think of two explanations.

- 1 - folderList items are "Unicode text" items while thisFolderName is a string.
set thisFolderName to (text returned of result) as Unicode Text
may be a workaround.


- 2 - if you accept the default answer the Finder should be unable to find a file whose path is:

topLevelPath & "EXAMPLE: 00001_RedShirt_HI"
which means that it tis trying to find the file "00001_RedShirt_HI"
in the folder topLevelPath & "EXAMPLE:"
