Problems with the Copy command and folders.

[Ray_Barber]

I am having trouble with setting a copy to overwrite folders in a script.

I have tried “while replacing” but got an error, stating that it couldn’t be used after an alias…

	copy (alias MobiFolder) to (alias newpath)

What would I use to have this copy a folder to another location, possibly replacing something already there with the same name?

Maybe this will work.

tell application "Finder"
	try
		duplicate alias MobiFolder to alias newpath with replacing
	on error e number num
		display dialog e & return & num
	end try
end tell
