This is what I proposed in my late message.

set temp to (contents of aprefix & "-" & contents of aName)

end considering

You guys should test Yvan's proposal against the other with a
timer. Since the above eliminates the setup and dismantlement of a
repeat mechanism every time through the outer loop, I'd be willing
to bet that Yvan's will be faster.
Thanks Philip ;-)
- 1 - I'm surprised because I received your responce but didn't
receive my original message ;-((
- 2 -
I tested the complete script passed in my message dated 4 mai 2007
11:37:02 HAEC
With 218 files in the "master" folder and only two in the "foreign" one,
My version did its duty in 0 seconds ( I added set beg to current
date after the two choose folder and a set fin to current date before
the final display dialog)
I got an error message due to the fact that the list of missing files
was too long (3486 missing files).
So I think
that the tip using lists defined as properties is really efficient
that a test upon the value of mycount would be useful.
