How to get Applescript to upload to all bookmarks in a folder

[emerald]

I would like to use Applescript to loop through all the bookmarks in one folder.   My goal is for all the bookmarks to have the most recent version of the same files

Something like this

For each bookmark in folder 'update group'
connect "bookmark"
   using connection "bookmark" list local folder "/Users/username/Sites/myfiles"
   using connection "bookmark" list remote folder "/public_html"
   using connection "bookmark" upload "files"
   using connection "bookmark" upload "includes"
   using connection "bookmark" upload "graphics"
   using connection "bookmark" upload "index.php"
   disconnect "bookmark"


Sorry I am new to Applescript and syntax is a tricky thing. 

Forgive me if this has been covered in a previous post.

Thanks

I think for a beginner, it's going to get complicated to do what you want - you'll need to ask the Finder to give you a list of all the Bookmarks in a particular folder, then reference them one by one.

I think a far simpler solution for you will be to keep a set of well named upload Bookmarks and then reference them directly, so you could simply have:

connect "UploadBookmark1"
using connection "UploadBookmark1" list local folder "/Users/username/Sites/myfiles"
using connection "UploadBookmark1" list remote folder "/public_html"
using connection "UploadBookmark1" upload "files"
using connection "UploadBookmark1" upload "includes"
using connection "UploadBookmark1" upload "graphics"
using connection "UploadBookmark1" upload "index.php"
disconnect "UploadBookmark1"

connect "UploadBookmark2"
using connection "UploadBookmark2" list local folder "/Users/username/Sites/myfiles"
using connection "UploadBookmark2" list remote folder "/public_html"
using connection "UploadBookmark2" upload "files"
using connection "UploadBookmark2" upload "includes"
using connection "UploadBookmark2" upload "graphics"
using connection "UploadBookmark2" upload "index.php"
disconnect "UploadBookmark2"

repeat as needed ... etc., etc.

Yummy will look through all your Bookmarks until it finds a matching name, so this will save you having to script the Finder to get information about folders and files.

For the Bookmarks, select 'Show All Bookmarks' from the Bookmarks menu which will show you all your Bookmarks. You can then use the facilities there to create / duplicate / edit / rename / delete Bookmarks.
