Hi,
I am using a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
Using filemaker, we create tab separated text files that are exported to the
originalFolderPath in the script below, before using a Troy file plugin to
clean the text, so the file can be sent via EDI.
The problem I have, is when I use the script below to move the file to the
destination folder which is automatically scanned by our EDI provider.
Although the script is only supposed to copy files with names ending
"inv.txt", it also copies the ds_store into the destination folder. Because
all files in the destination folder are automatically processed by our EDI
provider, we regularly get error messages for the ds_store files.
Is there anthing I could put in the script to prevent the ds_store from
being copied.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Steve.
set originalFolderPath to "Central Storage:Shipping:EDI FILES:tmp:inv tmp:"
set newFolderPath to "Central Storage:Shipping:EDI FILES:Freeway:invoice:"
tell application "Finder"
set fileList to every file in folder originalFolderPath
repeat with i from 1 to count fileList
set thisFilePath to item i of fileList
if name of thisFilePath ends with "inv.txt" then
duplicate thisFilePath to folder newFolderPath with replacing
end if
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder"
try
delete (every item of folder "inv tmp" of folder "tmp" of folder
"EDI FILES" of folder "Shipping" of disk "Central Storage" whose name ends
with "inv.txt")
end try
end tell
