Hi,

I want to move documents when the folder is the name of the current year.

I suppose I can set the patch with an AppleScript

set correctpatch to POSIX file "/Users/user/Box Sync/Documents/Finances/Bills/Electricity/"
tell (current date)
set stryear to (its year as integer)
end tell
set correctpatch to POSIX file correctpatch & stryear & "/" as text

however how to I move the file to this patch ?

Edit : I suppose I just have to ignore the move option and move it through the Apple Script

No script is needed. Use Sort into subfolder and drag in "Current year". Edit the format to only include the year.

That's perfect, thank you !

Is this possible though-- to use the output of an AppleScript to create a folder name to sort into?

I archive my expense receipts weekly. If I have an AppleScript that computes the date of "this friday", can I somehow use that as the folder name? (eg. "Receipts - 2017-09-29")

Check the help on AppleScript. The script can export attributes back out to Hazel for it to use.
