How to move files without having the user in the path

[soccer16x]

So basically I'm new to applescript and i need to move/copy files from the path /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support to the desktop. And the reason is that i'm going to be giving this to other people and if i have a specified user it will not work, Also it doesnt matter to me if it is some sophisticated fast script i just need it to work and i need it soon. After looking hours on google only finding ways to specify the user i just need help.

My os x version by the way is 10.6.8

Applescript has tools for this. First you have some learning to do about paths in applescript. To start, in applescript paths are colon ":" delimited and start with the name of the hard drive (not slash "/" delimited as you are showing). So I suggest you do a little learning first.

But to solve your immediate problem... applescript has shortcuts for well defined folders. For the 2 folders you mention...

set desktopFolder to path to desktop as text

set appSupportFolder to path to application support folder from user domain as text

Take a look at the results after running either of those commands to see what an applescript path looks like!
