Hello.
I am trying to get the path of a containing folder of a file.
By looking up the dictionary and some web sites, I found out that there
was a "containder" property of a file.
However this presents an error message.
tell application "Finder"
set my_file_path to path to desktop folder
-- get container of my_file_path as text
set directory_path to (container of my_file_path)
end tell
I tried "container of file my_file_path" also. I tried converting them
to text or string also. But it displays message like
"Can't make <<class ctnr>> of alias "..........." into type string.
Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem?
Thank you.
P.S. AppleScript seems to be more difficult than the Objective-C &
Cocoa... :(
