First: The headline to Your query is not very informative, a more specific definition of topic would seem a better choice.
Secondly: I haven�t tested it extensively and I�m not very experienced with Scripting, but You could give this a try:


 
// this script tries to copy the clipping paths of files in one folder into files of the same name in another folder; 

// use it at your own risk;
