Getting Info from System Profiles

This is what I manage to get so far

tell application "Apple System Profiler"
activate
set this_report to make new report at end with properties ,
{report contents:{applications}}
save report 1 in file ((path to the desktop folder as text) &
"Applications Report")
close report 1 saving no
quit
end tell


I would prefer to parse for certain names so that only those would be
save in the report - ie only need to know if Photoshop is installed
and what version is it, but it looks as if I have to do it from
another application. Does anyone have a script that handles this kind
of request? Thanks in advance for all your help.
