Warning!! Warning!!
Using "/Users/" & $USER -- this is a dangerous assumption, as it is possible for the user's home directory to be somewhere completely different, such as on a network volume!
Rather, you should use something like this:
delete folder $HOME & "/.Trash/foldername"
The $HOME environment variable is present on most *NIX systems (including OS X) and points to the correct home directory, even if it is on a server or in some location other than the default.

Come to think of it, why not use the Rev "delete folder" command? Again, if the folder is already in the Trash, you could do this:
delete folder "/Users/" & $USER & "/.Trash/foldername"

Sorry if I'm way off on this but, I just jumped in here.
1. If you just want to update a Finder window, you can do that with the Applescript "update folder pathToFolder". I've had to use this to refresh the contents of open Finder windows. I don't do that any more though.
2. If you want to delete something that's already in Trash (seems weird), you can use the shell command: rm /Users/$USER/.Trash/filename

Chris,
I seem to remember something about the ability to 'touch' a directory using shell scripts which should do what you want.
See, http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/classes/ksh/print_pages.shtml
Or Google Mac shell touch.

The problem now is that it just places the folder in the Trash, and it
didn't do that before. Does anyone know if there's a way to remove a
specific folder from the trash using AppleScript? I tried using the empty
command followed by the reference to the folder in the trash, but it didn't
work. If not, I'll just empty the trash, but I thought that's probably not
a very nice thing to do. Shouldn't be a big deal in this case, however._______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
