Re: Dialog
This works for me...
tell application "Finder"
set itemcount1 to count every item of folder X
set itemcount2 to count every item of folder Y
set itemcount3 to count every item of folder Z
set Dialog1 to (itemcount1 as text) & "blah... blah..." & return
set Dialog2 to (itemcount2 as text) & "blah... blah..." & return
set Dialog3 to (itemcount3 as text) & "/" & itemcount1 + itemcount2 & "blah... blah..." & return
set Dialog4 to "blah... blah..."
end tell
display dialog Dialog1 & Dialog2 & Dialog3 & Dialog4 buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button "OK"
-----------------
What's happening is that AppleScript is combining your items as a list because the first item is not text. You said you tried "as text" but without seeing how, I can't say why that didn't work.
Another option might be:
set appleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set Dialog1 to (itemcount1 as text & "blah... blah..." & return) as text
or
set appleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set Dialog1 to {itemcount1 as text) , "blah... blah..." , return} as text
