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,

(1) As always, I recall that info for is deprecated.

(2) I don't understand why you use a loop to work only upon the second item of the list of names returned by list folder

(3) Why are you asking list folder to return the name of invisible items as you are skipping this invisible item later ?

(4) To get the pathname of an item we must use path of, not path to which is dedicated by Standard Additions to a well defined list of items.

(5) I don't know which tool is targetted by "file information".

It's not the Finder , Standard Additions or System Events.

(6) I After correction, path of the_item fails because the_item is a name, noth a reference to a file/folder.

Here is you script after required changes :

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

set win_target to winTarget as text

--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 of the_item))

-->error "Il est impossible de rendre \"flat4tests copie.pages\" en type constant." number -1700 from "flat4tests copie.pages" to constant

set this_info to name of (get info for of file (win_target & the_item))

--set this_info to this_info as string

tell application "SystemUIServer" # to bring the dialog to front

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

end tell

--end repeat

As always, for my own use, I would restrict the use of Finder to what can't be done by an other tool.
