| Hi again
There is so many bright heads in this list, and the help im getting is wery good. As im struggelig towards my applescriptgoal i hope you all can help me with the next section of the script. I got help making a script for listing up all the files in a source folder to a text document, that tells me that my project is doable, but im not abel to get the rest done without your help.
So here is my project in discription.
"script" 1. Open dialog to select folder 2. Scan the selected folder for content (files/folder and subfolders + files) 3. make new folder ("selectedfoldername"-archive) 4. Put document with content of selectedfolder in "selectedfoldername"-archive folder 5. move selectedfolder to /Volume/mydisk/archived --------------------------------------------------------------------- This script by Ed Stockly works like a charm creating the file, but the rest of the script is difficult for me to work out.
set myFolder to choose folder
set folderPath to POSIX path of myFolder
tell application "Finder"
set fileName to (the name of myFolder) & "-contents.txt"
set myContents to entire contents of myFolder as alias list
end tell
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {folderPath}
set newList to {}
repeat with thisItem in myContents
set thisPath to POSIX path of thisItem
set the end of newList to text item 2 of thisPath
end repeat
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
set myList to newList as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
set contentFile to (myFolder as text) & fileName
tell application "Finder"
set openFile to open for access file contentFile with write permission
write myList to openFile
close access openFile
reveal item contentFile
end tell
