Hi
I'm trying to use AppleScript to move a file into a folder on apple script.
I am getting an error.
It then highlights the period in Testpic.pic
Any help is really appreciated!
Thank you.

1. Then use a path starting with "Volumes:volumename".
2. Because the path in the script is the same as the one on the disk.
3. The slash-delimited paths should only be used in do shell script statements.
4. Use 'folder "Applications" of startup disk'.

Ok one last question (sorry I'm new to this)
I'm trying to move a file into the contents folder of a application (when you right click on an application and click show package contents) but it is not working
One tip, sometimes when working in AppleScript and Terminal you can drag files and folders to the window to get the correct path name entered. This is particularly handy in Terminal where you may have long path names and also you need to escape spaces in the path name.
Thanks for your reply but it is still not working.
this is on my desktop
I have another question. I am doing the same thing as last time but with a variable. I am getting another error.
The Following is if i change move to move folder
Ok I change it to my real thing but I got a different error.
I got this:
Can’t get "Volumes:JB BACKUP:Footage" of startup disk. Access not allowed.
Use:
tell app “Finder:
move file "Desktop:testpic.png" of home to folder "Desktop:Test Folder" of home
end tell

Check that the folder exists in the Finder, including spacing and capitalization.

Remove the final space from the script. TestFolder isn’t Test Folder.

Great it worked. Couple questions:
What if the file is on an external disk?
Why did this work?
Is there anyway to use the strings or no?
What if the folder is in applications folder?
Thanks again.
Perfect!
Thanks again for the quick reply.
Never mind I missed type.
Include Contents: as part of the path, such as "Applications:ActionWall.app:Contents:Delete".

Use:
to folder "Volumes:JB BACKUP:Footage"
