Title: Using list of indices
Hello. I have a list of indices for files in a folder and am looking for a better way to perform an action on just those files. Here is what I am doing now (which is inside a tell application “Finder” block):
-- Compare the two folders
set idx to {}
repeat with i from 1 to c1
if item i of names1 is not in names2 then
set idx to idx & i
end if
end repeat
try
repeat with i from 1 to (count of idx)
set label index of file (item i of idx) of folder1 to 5
end repeat
end try
Note that the variables names1 and names2 are not the file names from the files in the two folders, but rather parsed versions of the file names. (They must be parsed before comparison.) After I do the comparison, I need to related the found indices to the files themselves.
I’m looking for a way to perform either or both of the above steps with the loop. For example, I know I can say:
set label index of every file of folder1 to 5
How can I do that with just specific files?
Thanks in advance!
