Here¹s a script that allows you to test it.
OMM it errors when x = 256.
But when you test it, I¹d test
it once on a file on your hard drive and once
on a file on your network. You may find that on some shared volumes there
is a limit to the number of characters in a file name, and that limit has
nothing to do with applescript.
HTH,
ES
set myFile to choose file
set newFileName to ""
repeat with x from 1 to 300
set newFileName to newFileName & "A"
tell application "Finder"
try
set the name of myFile to newFileName
on error
display dialog x & return & newFileName
end try
end tell
end repeat
Thanks Ed
Your script worked perfectly on my Mac.
Mine errors out at 256 also.
But
On the server
it errors out after 2 tries.
Still
Testing.
Thanks again
Oakley
