pthname = @//"Foldername" put baFolderExists(pthname)
Been there, done that. "Misplaced operator."
I usually stick with full pathnames, since it's not always clear when the @// operator is appropriate and because full paths work in all cases. That way I can save my other brain cell for more important tasks. :)
You've probably got a solution by now, but here's what I'm been using lately:
on cdup(me, howmany, thisPath)
if (ilk(thisPath)=#string) then set pathStr = thisPath else set pathStr = the moviePath
set tD = the itemDelimiter set pathDelimiter = the last char of pathStr set the itemDelimiter = pathDelimiter set itemCount = the number of items in pathStr
set newPath = (item 1 to itemCount - howmany - 1 of pathStr) & pathDelimiter
set the itemDelimiter = tD
return newPath end
