I keep getting the ".....into type string" error in Script Editor. Any ideas? I'm trying to copy the contents of "Source" to the folder "Target". Both folders are on my Desktop Here is what I have in Script Editor: do shell script "rsync -aE --delete /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Source/ /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Target/>>~/rsyncErr.txt || echo -n"

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  You need a space and a "2" before the ">>". Your command should look like:
  do shell script "rsync -aE --delete /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Source/ /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Target/ 2>>~/rsyncErr.txt || echo -n"

  problem solved. Had some concatonation errors in my shell script, and setting the result of the script to a var took care of the applescript error.
  
  if anyone can tell me why that is, and why several demos online don't have this problem, I'd be grateful.
