AppleScript - File Rename and move to OUT Path

[BEGINNER_X]

HI All,

I need a help for the below request.

1. User has to place the files in the "IN" Folder like "test.txt"

2. AppleScript want to move to "OUT" Folder with rename of "err_text.txt"

For your better understanding,

Thanks

SS

You would use the Finder to move the file and rename it:

tell application "Finder"
	--the path to the file to move
	set dt to path to desktop
	set mf to dt & "Test:IN:test.txt" as string
	
	--the move file’s name
	set fn to name of file mf
	
	--the destination folder
	set df to dt & "Test:OUT:" as string
	
	--move the file to the destination folder
	set ef to move file mf to folder df
	
	--change the moved file‘s name
	set name of ef to "err_" & fn
end tell

Try this code snippet:

tell application "Finder"
   set theFile to file "test.txt"
   set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
   set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
   try
       set fileName to name of theFile
       set nameWithoutExtension to first text item of fileName
       set name of theFile to "err_test.txt"
       set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
       move POSIX file "/Users/xx/In/err_test.txt" to POSIX file "/Users/xx/Out/" with replacing
   on error
       set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
   end try
end tell

Best
