Apple Script for File Selection

Hi,

I am completely new to Apple Scripts, and I hope I'm not being rude - but is it possible to write a script which chooses every third file in a folder, and then a separate one which chooses every other file?

I have done some very simple scripts like opening the finder window, assigning a reference etc etc.  However I then tried to accomplish the above and failed miserably.  Basically my first little scripts were the beginning pages to the Peachpit book Apple Scripts 1-2-3.

Can this be done?  And how would I do it?

This will be of tremendous aid to me, rhanks so much - and let me explain why; I am a time lapse photographer and must separate differently exposed files out of a folder for input to After Effects.  Some of the sequences have 4,000-plus files in them.



All my best, Jesse
