Hello all!
This is my first post and I’m completely new to creating AppleScritpts. I have poked around the forum and web and amalgamated some scripts to help me create some named folders with a sequence number. This script pretty much does what I want it to do. (1) Prompt the user where to create a root folder with a custom name at a specific location. (2) Prompt the user of how many folders to create. BUT I would like a prompt to create a custom name to the folders being created. Currently the default name is “Folder”. It would be great to be able to change the name “Folder” with a prompt with a customized name.
I know it has to deal with the below line of code but my tinkering and lack of AppleScritp skills has led me to no avail.
tell application “Finder” to make new folder at newFolder with properties {name:"Folder " & I}
Any ideas, help or direction will be greatly appreciated!

set folderMaker to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter root folder name:" default answer "Folder Maker")
set loc to choose folder "Choose Parent Folder Location"
tell application "Finder"
set newFolder to make new folder at loc with properties {name:folderMaker}
end tell
repeat
set subCount to text returned of (display dialog "How many folders?" default answer 10)
try
if subCount ≠"" then
subCount as integer
exit repeat
end if
end try
end repeat
repeat with i from 1 to subCount
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at newFolder with properties {name:"Folder " & i}
end repeat
