I am getting result B every time, even when the drive is HFS+ formatted.
Not only that, but here is the result of the debugging dialog that compares the values:
Yup the format is a constant.
You can convert it to text.
PS your variables seem very wacky:
use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later
use scripting additions
set TargetDisk to choose folder with prompt ¬
"Choose Disk"
tell application "Finder"
set tdname to name of TargetDisk
set tdformat to format of disk (tdname)
end tell
set formatText to tdformat as text
log {"tdformat Class", class of tdformat}
-- tdformat Class, constant
log {"formatText Class", class of formatText}
-- formatText Class, text
display dialog "'" & tdformat & "'" & return & "'Mac OS Extended format'"
if formatText = "APFS format" then
display dialog "Result A"
else
display dialog "Result B"
end if
