This is my first attempt at AppleScripting.
I have 3 folders that contain image files. Test Folder 1 has 77 large, master files. Test Folder 2 has 4 smaller files in a subfolder called ABC with the same name as files in Test Folder 1. Test Folder 3 Contains an empty sub folder called ABC. I want a script to check the file names in Test Folder 2 and copy the equivalent file names from Test Folder 1 to Test Folder 3 subfolder ABC
Here is what I have so far:
tell application "Finder"
set the_files to (files of folder "Macintosh HD:Users:Ronnie:Pictures:Test Folder 1:")
set the_file_names to (files of folder "Macintosh HD:Users:Ronnie:Pictures:Test Folder 2:ABC:")
set target_folder to ("Macintosh HD:Users:Ronnie:Pictures:Test Folder 3:ABC:")
if document files of the_file_names is equal to document files of the_files then duplicate the_files to target_folder
end tell
Currently it will copy all the files from Test Folder 1 so its seams that the "If" script does not work.
Can someone help?
