It is hard work to get selected text on Xcode.
Xcode does not work as we expected.
So, I selected the *dirty* way.
It works. But I'm not satisfied with....
<AppleScript>
tell application "Xcode"
set a to selection
if a is equal to missing value then return --no document window
try
set b to class of a
set c to properties of a
return --insertion point
on error
-- do nothing!!!
--selection cause error here
--Insertion point (no selection ) does not cause error
end try
activate
end tell
--execute command
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using {command down}
end tell
I am trying to automate XCode via AppleScript. But I'm new to
AppleScript, and have problems to figure out some basic things.
I need to access my current text selection, and also the name and
the path of the currently edited open source document.
I found out that I can get the path via
set thePath to associated file name of window 1
so I could also determine the document name by truncating the path
if it is not available directly.
I managed to get the name and path information form text documents
within the currently open project document (set theDoc to text
document 1), but I don't know how to find out which one is
currently displayed in the text editor. I also have no idea how to
get the current text selection.
