i keep getting an error illegal use of reserved word 'var'
here is my complete script...as you can tell it is a compilation of a bunch of snippets and scripts i have cobbled together.
as is, it is working other than dumping everything into the folder i select for the collect. i would rather it create a folder inside the folder i select and name it the same as the file.
I know you have already given me the answer but i'm thinking that something else where in this messy script is causing issues so i included my entire script.
