telling them to manipulate data directly - rather than indirectly (e.g.
#Applescript text cleaner plus#
granted, sometimes it's the only approach, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't conisder alternatives.įor example, AppleScript is geared much more towards driving applications directly - i.e. For 9.99/mo, use TextSoap plus over 200 other apps.
Having a script (or macro program) emulate user actions is about the poorest approach. I need to have an AppleScript that will edit the contents of a given text file (generic structure) and delete the 5th character through 8th character, leave characters 9-20, and delete characters 2. If I try to read a compiled applescript I get garbage, which is what I expected. (Requires text selection) tell application 'Adobe InDesign CC 2018' set selList to selection get class of item 1 of selList end tell -returns text Item 1 of a text selection is a reference to the text. It's possible, but really, really clunky. Binary stream reads uncompiled Applescripts ( i.e.text files) into a XOJO TextArea, though I would prefer to be able to read in a compiled Applescript using GetOpenFolderitem and display the file’s contents just the same as the uncompiled script text. This sample script is one that might be used to carry out a quick cleanup of a group of computers. Text item delimiters can be used for everything, but it would tend to add a bit more code, since you would need to get a list of items using the first delimiters, then use additional delimiters on those items, and so on. Are you really sure that's what you want to do? An XML file can’t have identical keys at the same level, so I’m going to guess that it is just a plain text file with those entries.
