Hi
Can you help me?
I need to get a folder?s content/items to be listed in a file for archiving.
I want to choose a folder and get the context menu on the folder to run the script, after starting the script ill end up with a file containing filnames, subfolders and filenames as a list in a text document. Is this possible?
This is what i hope to get in the file:
/index.html
/subfolder1/image.jpg
/file2.txt
/subfolder2/subsubfolder1/meta.qsl
I tried to get spotlight metadata but it was just not what i wanted as output.
Something like this??
tell application "Finder"
try
set filesList to files of sourceFolder as alias list
on error
set filelist to files of sourceFolder as alias as list
end try
end tell

Best Regards,

This script finds the contents of a chosen folder, and their path, but doesn't go into subfolders as the previous script I sent did, and outputs to a TextEdit window:
set f to (choose folder)
tell application "Finder" to set e to name of items of f
if e = {} then
beep
display dialog "No items found in the folder “" & f & "”." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 0 giving up after 10
else
set filelist to {"Contents of " & f & return & return}
repeat with i from 1 to (count e)
set end of filelist to ("" & e's item i & return)
end repeat
set the clipboard to "" & filelist
beep 2
end if
tell application "TextEdit"
make new document at beginning with properties {text:filelist as Unicode text}
activate
end tell
