Searching a folder on my iDisk

Well, there's the way I learned to do it -- kind of cheating, though. I have a directory of scripts in iDisk (aka "the cloud") as well. So let's say you have two folders, "Scripts" and "SearchHere" (which is the folder you want to search) in your iDisK. When the script executes, the following code should set you up:


set MyPath to path to me
tell application "Finder"
set TheCloud to (the container of MyPath)
set TheSearch to (TheCloud as text) & "SearchHere:"
set TheFiles to every file in (TheSearch as alias)
end tell

If you'd like, you can toss a "Return TheSearch" in there to actually see the path and then hard-code it yourself.

I don't own an iDisk but I would guess "/Volumes/iDisk/theFolder" or colon delim for an apple script.
