Scripting Apple System Profiler


  • Subject: Scripting Apple System Profiler

Running this simple script :

tell application "Apple System Profiler"
AppleTalk info
end tell

Will give me as part of my result, the machines Hardware Ethernet address.
What I am trying to do is to pull that information from the result and store
it as a value to a variable called MachineID.

Once I have that value stored, I want to cross check it against other
variables that have Ethernet addresses stored as their values in search of a
match.

Can anyone give me a pointer on how to get the Ethernet address stored as a
value in the apple script?
