Hello everyone! I was wondering if someone could help me out in regards to using the "Send Event" script step for creating NEW Folders with names taken from a script variable? I've seen this done on Windows, but not on the Mac OS X platform. I can't use Applescript because I can't pass my script variable to the actual applescript. This is a really simple solution because there are no space in filenames and the NEW folders I'd like to create are just a series of 7 numbers. However, the problem I'm havingis that I can't figure out what the unix commands are to create my folder (mkdir and the path is about all I have going for me). If someone can help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I ran into something similar not too long ago and I ended up setting a global field to hold the value from a script variable. Then I was able to put the value from the global field in a calculated AppleScript and it worked fine.

I know this doesn't answer your Send Event question...it just offers an alternative means of accomplishing what you want to do.

Hope it helps!

Thanks Kent, at least its a start! :
