It works very well, but I would like it to return an alias to the new file.
That is, return the last line as an alias.

This seems impossible to do. Neither System Events nor the Finder nor anything else seems to know what a
«class plif»
is. All I can get is an error message. It is impossible to convert this to an alias, a posix path, a text path or a reference.

Hi Luther,

How about this? One of the properties of a property list file
is path
, which is an alias.

on makeNewPlistFile(folderAlias, filename, initialRecord)
set newFileName to (folderAlias as text) & filename & ".plist"
tell application "System Events"
make new property list item with properties {kind:record, value:initialRecord}
set pFile to
make new property list file with properties {contents:the result, name:newFileName}
return
path
of
pFile
end tell
end makeNewPlistFile --------------------------------------------------------------------
