This won’t let me edit (or filter varible) from dynamic folder name. Any ideas would be very appreciated.

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
	tell application "Finder"
		set mainFolder to get the name of this_folder
		set cleanFolder to unix_path(x) --THIS IS WHAT IS NOT WORKING FOR SOME REASON
		set fromFolder to "/Volumes/Untitled2/Tiki\\ Staging/External\\ Dropbox/" & taco & "/"
		set toFolder to "/Volumes/TIKI_01/Tiki_Confidential/External\\ Dropbox/"
		set scriptToExecute to "sudo /usr/local/helios/bin/dt mv " & fromFolder & " " & toFolder
		try
			do shell script "" & scriptToExecute & ""
		on error errmsg number errnum
			beep
			display dialog ((errnum & ": " & errmsg) as string) with icon caution buttons {"OK"} default button 1
		end try
	end tell
end adding folder items to

on unix_path(mac_path)
	set chars to every character of mac_path
	repeat with i from 1 to length of chars
		if " " contains (item i of chars as text) then
			set item i of chars to "\\" & (item i of chars as text)
		end if
	end repeat
	return every item of chars as string
end unix_path

Hi,

the unixpath() handler can be replaced with quoted form of

Example:

set thePath to "TIKI_01:Tiki_Confidential:External Dropbox:"
set POSIXpath to POSIX path of thePath --> "/Volumes/TIKI_01/Tiki_Confidential/External Dropbox/"
set quotedPOSIXpath to quoted form of POSIX path of thePath --> "'/Volumes/TIKI_01/Tiki_Confidential/External Dropbox/'"

Looks like that did the trick. Thanks!
