Hi,

I want to write the script which counts folders in catalog, create new catalog with number +1, create subfolder with date and name which I provide in form.

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

Problem:

make new folder at folder „myCount" of folder "OZ" of disk „_NEW" with properties {name:”temp2"}

Whene I add aquote it not a varible anymore.

Thanks

"myCount" is not variable. "myCount" is a string data.

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 as string) of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" with properties {name:"temp2"}
	
	set name of folder "temp2" of folder (myCount as string) of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" to myTime
end tell
