Hello!
I just discovered the Automator and hope that it will help me to automate a local backup of some web files. Basically I have a bunch (OK...a lot) of folders and subfolders that look like:
user_1/files
user_1/images
user_2/files
user_2/images
In other words, they all look like:
user_#/files
user_#/images
The goal is to go through all of the folders and subfolders, check which files were changed yesterday and then put them into identical folders on my local machine. For a given user_#, I can use Get Fetch, and Filter Fetch, and then Download to the correct folder. However, this would be a big pain as the number of user_# grow. So, my question, is whether there's anyway to loop through using an Automator Variable that runs the same process, incrementing the # each time.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
