Applescript - Search Folders/Files based on string and display in new FINDER WINDOW
I am trying to compile a script that will search based on a STRING and return all folders/files in a NEW SEARCH FINDER WINDOW. Is this possible? This gives me a list on folders/files set thePath to do shell script "find /Users/donwieland/Desktop/ -name ptw*” /Users/donwieland/Desktop//FMP_MISC/ptw_order.fmp12 /Users/donwieland/Desktop//CLIENT FILES/PTW/PTW_Backup/ptw_data.fmp12 /Users/donwieland/Desktop//CLIENT FILES/PTW/PTW_Backup/ptw_lessons.fmp12 /Users/donwieland/Desktop//CLIENT FILES/PTW/PTW_Backup/ptw contact info.fmp12 /Users/donwieland/Desktop//CLIENT FILES/PTW/PTW_Backup/ptwonlin_sys_2022-02-24.sql /Users/donwieland/Desktop//CLIENT FILES/PTW/PTW_Backup/ptw_orders_test.fmp12 /Users/donwieland/Desktop//mData/PTW_doc/ptw_data_ddr /Users/donwieland/Desktop//mData/PTW_doc/ptw_data_ddr/ptw_data.html /Users/donwieland/Desktop//mData/PTW_doc/ptw_data_ddr/ptw_data_n.html /Users/donwieland/Desktop//PTW_Appts/ptw_lessons_ddr /Users/donwieland/Desktop//PTW_Appts/ptw_lessons_ddr/ptw_lessons_n.html /Users/donwieland/Desktop//PTW_Appts/ptw_lessons_ddr/ptw_lessons.html now I want to open a new FINDER WINDOW and have these items listed. Similar to if a did a manual SEARCH. Thanks in advanced. Don
