Re: eliminate certain folders

[Irv Kalb]

Untested email Lingo, but here's how I would approach it:

FolderList = baFolderList("osX")
-- Build up a list of the folders you to eliminate from the list
EliminateList = ["Temporary Items", "TheFindByContentFolder"]
-- Iterate through the EliminateList, seeing if each is found in the FolderList
repeat with thisFolderToEliminate in EliminateList
  where = getOne(FolderList, thisFolderToEliminate)  -- see if it's there
  if where > 0 then  -- If it is there, delete it.
    deleteAt(FolderList, where
  end if
end repeat
FolderList should now contain all folders except for those in the 
EliminateList.

Hope this helps,

Irv

HI,

I use baFolderList to get the list of folders.
But how can I eliminate certain folders in the list for example, 
"Temporary Items", "TheFindByContentFolder"?
set Folder = baFolderList( "osX")
put Folder
-- [".Trashes", "Desktop Folder", "Temporary Items", 
"TheFindByContentFolder", "TheVolumeSettingsFolder", "Trash"]

TIA
Tony
