How to add script to unlock a locked file

[polocanada]

I was able to run permission reset using script for Hazel perfectly fine.

No I'm trying to add script to UNLOCK a file but it fails, mostly with a "1" which indicates error or failure and in fact the file doesn't get unlocked.

None of these worked....

tell application "Finder"
set locked of every file of folder this_folder to false
end tell
....
tell application "Finder"
set locked of file tfile to false
end tell
....
tell application "Finder"
set locked of file theFile to false
end tell

....

I also tried shell script but I didn't get any further...

chflags -R nouchg %1
....
SetFile -a l %1

=======

Does any of these has a slight chance to work?
Thanks.

Have you tried the scripts outside of Hazel on the file in question? Also, when $1 in a shell script, it's best to enclose it in double-quotes to shield against things like spaces in the path.

I kind of give up on that already, but yes, I tried at least one of the scripts above worked, as these are scripts I found elsewhere on the web.

Thanks for the "double-quote" top. That may have been the issue after all.
