Forgive me, I am new to AppleScript and am struggling bit here.
What I am trying to do is update the “/Date” subfolder to a current numeric date (day.month.year hour.min)
Here is my code…
set jobNum to text returned of (display dialog “Enter the job number:” default answer “”)
set jobName to text returned of (display dialog “Enter the Distributor Name and a Job Description:” default answer “”)
set folderpath to POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt “Select client folder”)
do shell script "/bin/mkdir -p " & quoted form of folderpath & “/” & ¬
quoted form of (jobNum & " - " & jobName) & “/{‘Customer Files’/Date,‘Fonts’,‘WBG Files’/{‘Digital Press Files’/‘Refined 1up PDFs for Quite Imposing’,‘Links - WBG Edited’,‘Prinergy Input Files’,‘Proof for Email’},‘zTrash Before Archiving’}”
This names the “Date” folder in the way you want as the folder’s created:
set jobNum to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the job number:" default answer "")
set jobName to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the Distributor Name and a Job Description:" default answer "")
set folderpath to POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Select client folder")
do shell script "a=$(date '+%d.%m.%Y %H.%M') ; /bin/mkdir -p " & quoted form of folderpath & "/" & ¬
quoted form of (jobNum & " - " & jobName) & "/{'Customer Files'/\"$a\",'Fonts','WBG Files'/{'Digital Press Files'/'Refined 1up PDFs for Quite Imposing','Links - WBG Edited','Prinergy Input Files','Proof for Email'},'zTrash Before Archiving'}"
By the way, you can get your code to display as above on these fora by using [applescript] and [/applescript] tags.
