Title: Re: What is wrong with my script
On 11.09.2009 20:53, "xorx" <email@hidden> spake thus:

Running the following script in AppleScript editor creates error -1728:

--start
   set AS_path to POSIX file "/Applications/"
   tell application "Finder"
 set dat to modification date of AS_path
   end tell
--end

It says that "modification date of file "/Applications/"" could not be  
read. This error happens with all possible properties of file objects.  
The file obviously exists and I have no clue why this does not work...

Thanks for any help,

Georg

Why are you referring to a folder using “file” ?
 I’d use this:

set
AS_path to path to applications folder
tell application "Finder" to set dat to modification date of AS_path

Best,
