Hi Dave,

You are perfectly right: I missed this one.
So a reliable function could be:

function CreatorAndType pFilePath
  local tDefaultFolder,tFile,tCreatorType
  -----
if the platform <> "MacOs" then return "Error: filetype not supported"
  put the defaultFolder into tDefaultFolder
  set the itemdel to slash
  set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of pFilePath
  put urlDecode(the detailed files) into tFile
  filter tFile with item - 1 of pFilePath & ",*"
  if tFile = empty then return "Error: could not find file"
  set the defaultFolder to tDefaultFolder
  set the itemDel to comma
  put item 11 of tFile into tCreatorType
if tCreatorType = empty then return "Error: could not find the filetype" return char 1 to 4 of item 11 of tFile & comma & char 5 to 8 of item -1 of tFile
end CreatorAndType

Hi Brian,

As the files function returns a list sorted by alphabetical order, I don't think it's necessary.



But, for example, if you were looking for a file named "mend.png" and there was a file named "amend.png" in the folder, you'd find "amend.png".

A bit cumbersome, but when I've done this, I've repeated through all lines in the detailed files and done a match on the first item in each.

Cheers
