Take selected items and move them to a preset folder, Applescript question

[jhncbrwn]

I'm trying to write a workflow that takes the selected items in Alfred and moves them to a preset folder.

 

My applescript keeps giving me the error "Can’t get POSIX file"

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

set filelist to "{query}"
set oldDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "\t"
set theArray to every text item of filelist
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiters

tell application "Finder"
	repeat with eachitem in theArray
		set a to POSIX file eachitem
		set b to POSIX file "Macintosh HD/Users/USERNAME/Desktop/Temp" as text
		move a to b
	end repeat
end tell

		set b to POSIX file "Macintosh HD/Users/USERNAME/Desktop/Temp" as text
		move a to b
	end repeat
end tell

 

Try this code:

set filelist to “{query}"
set text item delimiters to tab
set theArray to every text item of filelist
set text item delimiters to ""
repeat with eachitem in theArray
	set a to POSIX file (eachitem)
	set b to POSIX file ("/Users/USERNAME/Desktop/Temp")
	tell application "Finder" to move a to b
end repeat
