Hi Allen,
thank you, I had this problem as well.
Now that I have the correct file I cannot import it into the IMAP folder
on Entourage.
Can you please give me step by step instructions on this. When I import
it, it is
put at the top level of folders.
I appreciate your assistance
thank you
Mark

Failed how? That's my script and it is the right one.
If it failed with a message with a message something like:
> Can't make "Mac OS 9.1:Desktop Folder:Macintosh20010212.mbx" into a
item

then maybe I can help. I just answered another person with this problem
as follows:
I suspect that I relied in error on a type coercion that happens
automatically on my system because of some other osax, like Jon's
Commands. In the line you gave, try adding "file" in front of the
variable "newName" and see if that works.
I discovered that when I did this, I needed to put the following IF
block inside a "tell finder" block, like this:
set newFile to open for access file newName with write
permission
tell application "Finder"
if (file type of x) is "TEXT" or (file type of x) is "MBOX"
then
set fileRef to open for access aFile without write
permission
set atEOF to false
repeat while not atEOF
try
set t to read fileRef for 10000
on error
set t to read fileRef to eof
set atEOF to true
end try
set t to my SearchReplace(t, "From ^^^@^^^",
newDate)
write t to newFile
end repeat
close access fileRef
close access alias newName
my setTypes(alias newName)
end if
end tell
>
I don't know for certain why I needed the tell block, but it works that
way, while without it, the script said it could not get the "file type"
of "x", which should be a record of file info. Apparently, though, the
script was interpreting "file type" as something referring to an actual
file and not a field in a record of file information.
