| Hi AS-users,
I’m trying to get a little deeper into the sub-routine-thing. But I’m stuck at a strange error -1708, that I can reproduce with the following script.
use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later use scripting additions
on run set the_List to {}
activate
set the_Files to (choose file with prompt "Please select a file to process:" with multiple selections allowed)
repeat with f from 1 to (count of the_Files) set the_File to (the_Files's item f)
my the_Name(the_File)
set the_List's end to (the_Name) end repeat
display dialog ("the_Files: " & the_Files & "\n\nthe_List: " & the_List)
end run
on the_Name(the_File) tell application "Finder" set the_Name to name of the_File end tell end the_Name
When selecting more than one file, so that the sub-routine runs multiple times, I get this error: error „«script» doesn’t understand the message „the_Name“.“ number -1708 from «script»
As far as I understand AppleScript, there’s basically nothing wrong with the script.
If I replace the „my the_Name(the_File)“ line with tell application "Finder" set the_Name to name of the_File end tell no error comes up, even when I select quite a lot files.
Any hints, how I get it to work, anyway?
With kindest regards…
