Re: Newly created alias is not an alias

Hello Kay, I tested it empirically. In version 6.6.2, the aliasReference of a file/folder returns the path to file/folder itself; not empty as you suggest. Either way, my function below works: function isAlias pathToAlias return the aliasReference of pathToAlias is not pathToAlias end isAlias

Re: Filtering FIle Types

In that case, the new filter command lets you put the output into a second variable: filter lines of tFiles with regex pattern ".*\.jpg|png" into tFilteredFiles That way, tFiles will not be changed and tFilteredFiles will contain the result of the filter command Pete lcSQL Software

Re: Newly created alias is not an alias

Explaining this has made me come-up with the solution: function isAlias pathToAlias return the aliasReference of pathToAlias is not pathToAlias end isAlias on testAliases currentFolder -- put currentFolder & "test/" into targetFolder put currentFolder & "test-alias" into aliasPath

Re: Newly created alias is not an alias

Thank you, Mark, but the aliasReference is NEVER empty. Therefore cannot use: if the aliasReference of it is empty to test if something is an alias.: on testAliases currentFolder -- put currentFolder & "test/" into targetFolder put currentFolder & "test-alias" into aliasPath --

Thank you for the reply and code. If I call it for every type I want then I will need to splice it back together with the other types I filtered after I am done calling for each type. I guess there comes a point when I have added a certain amount of types it will be faster to do one line at a tim

Re: Filtering FIle Types

Thew new syntax for the filter command (don;t recall which version it was introduced but it works in 6.6.2) lets you filter with a regular expression, so the following will do it in one filter command, no need to repeat for each line: filter lines of tFiles with regex pattern ".*\.jpg|png" Just r
