Hi,

Can anyone help me to write a script to find a specific folder in a user entered job code.

Here is more details.

The user input a job code number e.g. 79876
Actually what I want is to find a folder called “LAYOUT_DESIGN” under the job code folder ex. 79876 XXXXX.

Thanks,
Krishnan

Hi,

Here is the detailed explanation of what is required.

We have one root folder, say example 79876 Kerr. Under this folder there is one sub-folder called “LAYOUT_DESIGN”. This sub-folder can be located any where under the root folder.

The root folder is found in the server named “BOOKS:PROJECTS”.

When I give the user input “79876” while running the applescript, the script must go through the subfolders of 79876 Kerr to find the LAYOUT_DESIGN sub-folder.

After locating the sub-folder, the script must copy all the files located in the LAYOUT_DESIGN into desktop under the name 79876 Kerr.

Thanks,
Krishnan

Hi krish.
I think that what StefanK meant was “Please post the script you’re working on” (after all, you do say “Can anyone help me…”). What is your problem with scripting this?

Or, are you asking: “Can anyone write a script from scratch for me to…”? That’s a different question, and one that folks often avoid answering because inevitably the script won’t work properly on the first try (usually because not all of the info was available), and there will be a long follow-up to get it working.
