Apple

Hey Jim,

set f to "YOUR folder alias"

tell application "Finder"

try

# For a list of aliases:

set itemList to (items of entire contents of f) as alias list

# For a list of path strings:

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return

set itemList2 to text items of (((items of entire contents of f) as alias list) as string)

on error errMsg number errNum

set sep to "=============================="

set e to sep & return & "Error: " & errMsg & return & sep & return ¬

& "Error Number: " & errNum & return & sep

beep

display dialog e

end try

end tell

Keep in mind that 'entire contents' gets slow as the hierarchy gets big. 'as alias list' does improve the speed considerably though.
