title: Auto scripting two folders with the same name, but 1 folder appended with a prefix
body: <p>I’m new to the forum and relatively new to scripting and wanted to ask a question.</p>
  
  <p>I’m trying to script a workflow where when prompted, users create a folder and when the script executes, a dialogue pops up. Users name the folder, for example; NewFolder1, it is then saved in a directory. Another folder is then created in the background, into another directory with the same name created by the user earlier, but appended with a prefix, for example; Name_ NewFolder1.</p>
  
  <p>I then want sub folders created in each directory as well as alias folders which point to Name_ NewFolder1 created in the original (NewFolder1) directory</p>
  
  <p>I'm on a mac and I can do most of this via applescript or automator but am stuck on the initial creating 'NewFolder1' and 'Name_ NewFolder1' at the same time in the two separate directories.</p>
  
  <p>I only want to prompt the user to name one folder rather than show them two dialogues for 'NewFolder1' and 'Name_ NewFolder1'</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas of how i can achieve this? Either via a shell, applescript or UNIX</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
