Hi Guys

Does anyone know of a way of making a script which opens a random file in a specific folder???


Thanks in advance

You'd probably want to get every file in the folder as a list, then generate a random number with a maximum of the 'count' of the files - then open the file at index.

something like this:

Code:
tell application "Finder"
	set targetFolder to choose folder -- or set it via an alias
	set allFiles to every file of targetFolder
	set randomFileIndex to (random number from 1 to count of allFiles)
	open file randomFileIndex of targetFolder
end tell
