Hi all,
I have very little experience with Applescript and am currently trying to learn/teach myself it. I have started a project which is perhaps a little ambitious but am using it as a learning experience while I go.
My problem is that I have no idea how to do the following:
I have a folder that contains a lot of other folders, I would like to create a list in Applescript that contains the names of the folders inside my main folder (so that I can then use them further on in the script).
my script currently consists of the code required to get the number of sub-folders and is as follows.
set main_folder to "drive:folder:" as text
tell application "Finder"
set num_folders to number of folders in entire contents of folder main_folder
end tell
Any tints or hips would be greatly appreciated
From what I am reading I need to define a loop that will go from 0 to num_folders with each iteration of the loop adding a name to a list as the_list would then be used in later subroutines, it’s just finding out how to do it :s
