I'm trying to add new folders added to a drive onto a textEdit or numbers file so that there's an up to date list of what projects I have active on individual drives.
I'm very new to AppleScript so I don't know what my limitations are, but I basically just need to figure out how to append to the end of the file (it seems like textEdit would be simplest) with the name of the new folder. I currently have:
on adding folder items to theAttachedFolder after receiving theNewItems
-- Get the name of the attached folder
tell application "Finder"
set theName to name of theAttachedFolder
-- Count the new items
set theCount to length of theNewItems
-- Display an alert indicating that the new items were received
activate
display alert "Attention!" message (theCount & " new items were detected in folder. Adding to TextEdit file.")
end repeat
end tell
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
