Is there any way I could insert a variable at the end of the path to
the folder? Say, for a folder in the actual folder that I wanted to
zip?
For example:
set theFolder to text returned of (display dialog "Type the name of
the folder to delete the hidden files from." default answer "Folder
name" buttons "OK" default button 1)
(* To allow the user to define the folder to be zipped. *)
(*
(Insert script to delete the hidden files here) path to folder
"/Users/apodgorski/Desktop/Folder/--Variable theFolder here--" as
alias
*)

I distrust morning people, largely because I suspect them of getting
together early one day while the rest of us were asleep and setting up
the rules of civilization. Also, I hate mornings.
