AppleScript

Postby Garland » Sun Aug 30, 2009 7:10 pm

Does anyone know how to write in Applescript? Can you give some pointers if you can?

A list of commands and what they do could also be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

It's kind of a wide topic, and frankly, I don't care much for AppleScript -- it's too wordy.

What are you trying to do in it? There may be an easier/better way (or you could write in another scripting language and only call AppleScript for very specific portions).

I mostly want to learn the language. I like how it can call on other scripts to do more specific work.

I see. In that case, you might look at the forums at http://www.macscripter.net/ -- they have a number of tutorials, and people to ask.
