Using AI to mount server?

Question

Hi all.
Maybe someone can help me with this one. I would like to "teach" my script where to mount a server from.
The synopsis is as follows;
property NetworkVolume: ""
property VolumeName:""
if NetworkServer is "" then
-- Prompt the user to mount the appropriate share
set NetworkVolume to Server URL -- ie "afp:/at/..."
set VolumeName to name of that server volume
else
if not exists volume VolumeName then
mount volume NetworkVolume
end
end
in other words, I would like the script to learn how to mount a specific share without prior knowledge of either its name of URL.
Hope somebody can help me with this!
TIA

Answer 1

Actually I would rather compare the Previous Disk
List information with the new one AFTER the user has
mounted his/her share. if that is at all possible
that is. I know I can "figure out" which disk has
been added top the desktop but what about extracting
its AFP URL from it for later "automount" action.
You can get the mounted server from 'Recent Servers' folder. But you need to get the latest one. One way to do that is to compare modification date of them.
Once you get the server, you just extract its location. Here is an example:
set _library to path to library folder from user domain as string
tell application "Finder"
set recent_servers to (internet location files of folder (_library & "Recent Servers"))
set _date to (current date) - (365 * days) -- just arbitrary date
repeat with _server in recent_servers
if modification date of _server is greater than _date then set _date to modification date of _server
end repeat
return location of (first internet location file of folder (_library & "Recent Servers")) whose modification date is _date
end tell
