Hello everyone,

First off I don't know if this belongs here, so I apologize in advance.

I'm trying to create an AppleScript where I copy a folder in /Library/Logs/ over to /Desktop/Logs/ ... Like so:

 

tell application "Finder"
	make new folder at alias "Mac:Users:user:Desktop:" with properties {name:"Test"}
	copy folder "Mac:Library:Logs:com.test.testlog:" to folder "Mac:Users:user:Desktop:Test"
end tell

However, I want to make this work on other Macintosh's as well, and other Mac's rename their HD. I basically just want to know how to write this to make it look for / and not the HD name and also the user folder (since it'll be different user folder names)

I've tried ~/Library/ basically adding the tilda, but that didn't work.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

This should be working on all Macs already, unless the users have been playing with the directory.

You want "path to home folder"

Here's a good site for Applescript help.

You might also consider using a shell script. That's where the tilda would be useful.
