Sorry to answer my own question but I had one last fiddle and I came up with the following:

set
XYZ to every folder of DispatchFolder
if
folder "PACKSHOTS" of DispatchFolder exists then
       display dialog "A PACKSHOTS folder already exists in your job's Dispatch folder. Do you want to replace it or add new packshots to it?" buttons {"Replace it", "Add to it"} default button 2 with icon caution

end
if

The dialog displayed and so it seems to be working.


Is this the best way to tackle this?


Cheers,


Coj

Hiya,


I have a script that will be moving  a folder "PACKSHOTS" from the desktop to a designer's job folder. However I want it to see if a folder "PACKSHOTS" as already there.


The following works but I don't believe it's the best way to tackle it:


set
XYZ to every folder of DispatchFolder as string
if
XYZ contains "PACKSHOTS" then
      display dialog "A PACKSHOTS folder already exists in your job's Dispatch folder. Do you want to replace it or add new packshots to it?" buttons {"Replace it", "Add to it"} default button 2 with icon caution

end
if

I'd prefer to pinpoint the folder as a folder because, as you can see, I want to give the user the option of replacing the folder or merging the contents of the new folder with the already existing one.


Anyway, your help would be most appreciated!!!


Cheers,


Coj
