Creating folder names with variables in applescript?

Use the following:

set the_folder to "Macintosh HD:Users:USERNAME:Desktop:Fake Server"

set theChosenOne to "Selected"

set Code to "ABCD"

set Number1 to "12345"

set projLocation to (the_folder & ":" & theChosenOne)

set folderTags to Code & " " & Number1

tell application "Finder"

make new folder at projLocation with properties {name:folderTags & " artfile"}

end tell

In general, you only need to convert something to a POSIX path when you'll be using it inside a do shell script command.

That suggests that an element in the path doesn't exist. Verify it's correct, including providing the actual home folder name if that's not USERNAME.

try specifying folder:

make new folder at folder projLocation ...

The following should work:

set the_folder to "/Users/USERNAME/Desktop/Fake Server"

set theChosenOne to "Selected"

set Code to "ABCD"

set Number1 to "12345"

set projLocation to POSIX file (the_folder & "/" & theChosenOne)

set folderTags to Code & " " & Number1

tell application "Finder"

makenewfolderatprojLocationwith properties {name:folderTags & " artfile"}

end tell
