AppleScript Tutorial : Variables 

Hey Razvan, that’s a good point. I believe what you’re referring to has to do with the entitlements that Apple has added to MacOS. In my opinion they didn’t implement this idea very well as it’s not very reliable, but it does seem to be improving as we move into updates with Big Sur. I can try and cover some of this in a future video, at least the steps I take to try and get things to function as expected.

set filePath to “Macintosh HD:Users:youraccount:Desktop:sample.tif” set theName to name of (info for (filePath as alias))

Hello T Farfolini, when you want to use a variable it cannot have quotes around it. Also, it looks like you’re trying to use the variable myVarible as an existing folder name, and put a new folder named “temp” inside it, is that correct? Or are you trying to create a folder with the name that’s in myVarible? This is the path you are trying to create with the sample of code you shared… _NEW:TODO:myVarible:temp:

@@ClickingKeys Thanks for reply :) I want to write the script which counts folders in catalog, creates new folder with number +1 (I already have almost 7000 of folder with jobs for this client), creates subfolder with current date and name which I provide in form. It seems to work, well, almost :) first problem is naming subfolder and the second is how to add a name and date to the name of the folder at the same time. This is my whole code: tell application „Finder" activate set myCount to 6801 + (count (folders of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW”)) make new folder at folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" with properties {name:"temp”} tell application "Finder" to open "_NEW:OZ:temp” set name of folder "temp" of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" to myCount set myName to text returned of (display dialog „Name:" default answer „Name”) set myTime to (do shell script "date +\"%D\”") make new folder at folder „myCount" of folder "OZ" of disk „_NEW" with properties {name:”temp2”} set name of folder „temp2" of folder „myCount" of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" to myTime end tell

Hey Foolimp! I’m not sure I understand your question. If you can try and clarify what you’re asking, I would be happy to help.

well its like, uhh that you can do a repeat loops that the variable number goes down like that it subtracts one every time it repeats @@ClickingKeys

Hey zhou, I’m not sure I know what you’re asking. What do you mean “unless it’s a list?”

@@ClickingKeys i mean it’s a veritable and can hold up more than one value😂 but never mind. I like your video
