Hi this simple script that I use to move selections to a certain folder no longer works in Tiger

tell application "Finder"
	set FileSelected to selection
	move FileSelected to "Users:me:Documents:Saved Docs:ReadMes:" replacing yes
end tell

Finder got an error. Can’t get (path to selection)

TIA,
jim

Hi
Change this:

move FileSelected to “Users:me:Documents:Saved Docs:ReadMes:” replacing yes

to this:

move FileSelected to alias “Users:me:Documents:Saved Docs:ReadMes:” replacing yes

cheers

thanks but that’s not it.

Here is the event log returned from the scriptwhen trying to move the file test.txt to my Readmes folder.

//SCRIPT

tell application "Finder"
	set FileSelected to selection
	move FileSelected to "Users:jimlongo:Documents:Saved Docs:ReadMes:" replacing yes
end tell

//EVENT LOG


tell application "Finder"
	get selection
		{document file "test.txt" of folder "Desktop" of folder "jimlongo" of folder "Users" of startup disk}
	move {document file "test.txt" of folder "Desktop" of folder "jimlongo" of folder "Users" of startup disk} to "Users:jimlongo:Documents:Saved Docs:ReadMes:" replacing yes
		"Finder got an error: Can't get {document file \"test.txt\" of folder \"Desktop\" of folder \"jimlongo\" of folder \"Users\" of startup disk}."
