Thanks, I finished the program. Thank you so much for the Sqlite Lib. It’s a
godsend for what I’m doing.

I have another dumb question though. I tried to set up a handler which is
copied from your book:

on renameFileAt:posixPath1 toName:newName1
        set fileManager to current application's NSFileManager's
defaultManager()
        set posixPath1 to current application's NSString's
stringWithString:posixPath1
        set theNewPath to posixPath1's stringByDeletingLastPathComponent()'s
stringByAppendingPathComponent:newName1
        if fileManager's fileExistsAtPath:theNewPath then
                error "A file with that name already exists"
        else
                set {theResult, theError} to fileManager's
moveItemAtPath:posixPath1 toPath:theNewPath |error|:(reference)
                if (theResult as boolean) is false then
                        error (theError's localizedDescription() as text)
                end if
        end if
end renameFileAt:toName:


When I try to call it it like this:

set theResult to its renameFileAt:name1 toName:name2

I get an error “could not continue…”

But when I include the handler in-line (in other words, just running the code
in-line, not as a handler) it works fine. So there is a problem with the way
i’m calling it. Also, the Script editor always “corrects” it to "set theResult
to (its renameFileAt:posixPath1 toName:newName1)"

What am I doing wrong?
