I want to copy two folders to another folder…the destination folder is a variable that is typed in…example…I would type in P0020 and applescript would look in my archive folder to find a folder that starts with “P0020” and copy the two folders into it. Another question, I also want applescript to find the latest number in a folder (My customer job folder has folders labeled with job numbers “P0020 - Customer Name”) when I launch a script to make a new job folder I want applescript to tell me what the next number will be.
Would you prefer a droplet (drop the two folders to be copied) or a clickable app? Are the two folders to be copied always the same, or will you need to select them if you choose not to use a droplet?
Is this a different script or “in addition” to the copy routine?

clickable app…please…these will be two different scripts. The copy of the two folders will be an add-on to a script I wrote. I just can’t figure out how to use a variable as a destination folder (please keep in mind that I want them to drop into a folder that begins with what I type in.) They are the same folders all the time.
2nd script…
If it is any easier, I have an excel file as well that keeps track of my customer job numbers, again I can’t figure out how to have applescript find the first empty cell in the “A” column and tell me what the cell number is…
