Checking the existence of a folder named “01” returns true if there is a folder named “1”.
Example 1: String Path
tell application "Finder"
set pathToSave to folder of window 1 as string
set pathToFolder to pathToSave & "01:" as string
return pathToFolder
--> pathToFolder = "Macintosh HD:Users:mmunro-wtm:Desktop:TEST FOLDER:01:"
return pathToFolder exists
--> true
end tell
Example 2: Alias Path (this converts the “01” to “1” when converting to an alias
tell application "Finder"
set pathToSave to folder of window 1 as string
set pathToFolder to pathToSave & "01:" as string
set pathToFolder to alias pathToFolder
--> pathToFolder = folder "1" of folder "TEST FOLDER" of folder "Desktop" of folder "mmunro-wtm" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"
return pathToFolder exists
--> true
end tell
