Are you simply looking for the name of each item or for something more?

Hi,

Needing more lessons;

I've tried Google, "The Definitive Guide" and the Standard Dictionary.

When run this script comes up with the error.



error "Can’t make \"Hearing Aid comments-questions.pages\" into type constant." number -1700 from "Hearing Aid comments-questions.pages" to constant


-- with a finder window showing on the desktop;

tell application "Finder"
        activate
        set winTarget to target of front window as alias
        tell me to set the_items to list folder winTarget with invisibles
end tell #Finder

repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the the_items
        set this_info to ""
        set the_item to item 2 of the the_items as text

        set this_info to name of item (file information of file (path to the_item))
        set this_info to this_info as string

        display dialog "" & "the_item = " & the_item & return & "this_info = " & this_info
end repeat

TIA,
