Couldn't get it to work
Authored by: salty on Jan 22, '02 10:37:37AM

The script choked expecting a close speechmark after the backslash on the following line...


  do shell script "mkdir ~/Library/Application Support/Stickies"

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,
Salty

DOh! the backslash disappeared in my post, it's the one before the space in 'application support' I put in an [ampersand hash 92 semicolon] too :S
\ ... whatever....

While editing the story, I deleted an extra backslash by mistake and didn't catch it -- the backslashes need to be doubled, as they are now in the story.

Thanks for the catch, and sorry for the problem.

LOL... I thought I was going mad for a minute, when I went back to verify my post the double backslashes had appeared ;)

Thanks, the script works nicely now.
