Hi
I use my laptop for school and have a flash disk to keep some of my work on for the purposes of putting it on other computers and printing etc. I have made an AppleScript that uses shell commands to back up my flash drive onto a folder on my computer (just a simple cp command) which I can bring up in Quicksilver. However, I'd now like to be able to have a folder on my hard drive which I can put work on and be able to copy that into my flash disk. However, I'd like to avoid overwriting important files, so I'd like to be able to automatically rename a file if there is a file of the same name as that folder, maybe with a suffix such as the current date. How would I go about doing that?
Thanks
Banjo
