Hi all,
I need to get the position number of a folder or file within another folder. I have tried a few things with no success.
I think this is done using the index command but so far have had no success.
Please help!
I am running tiger 10.4

Hi
Here one small suggestion:
tell application "Finder"
-- Choose folder
set theFolder to (choose folder default location (path to desktop folder) without invisibles) as alias
-- Get the name of every item
set theNameList to name of every item of folder theFolder
-- Get the index of every item
set theIndexList to index of every item of folder theFolder
-- Check result
return {theNameList, theIndexList} -- {{"01.txt", "02.txt", "03.txt"}, {1, 2, 3}}
end tell
I hope this helps…
Thanks for the reply. What you suggested kind of worked, but it was very helpfull in giving me another angle to work from. Cheers. I ended up just doing a count of the list of contents of a folder and working from that.
