This from Jeremy Matthews - dated 25/2/06 13.59:
Is there a way you can reference an item/list string, or other errata
in another file (perhaps, an applescript file?).
What you probably want here is the 'file read/write' commands from the
'standard additions' osax provided with AppleScript.
A simple script for reading the contents of a text file might look
like
this:
set f to "Diskname:Foldername:Filename"
open for access file f
set filecontents to read file f
close access file f
Or simpler still:
----------
read file "Diskname:Foldername:Filename"
----------
If the item required is a script property, then something like this
should do the trick:
----------
myProperty of (load script file "Diskname:Foldername:Scriptname")
----------
(Where 'myProperty' is the label of the property required.)
