HELP! This doesn't work!
The Application "Bar Code Pro. with Veribar." quits after/during the
"save" step.
Then the AppleScript gets stuck.
AFAIK: BarCodePro is supposed to (?) know the filename, based on the data
entered.
Sometimes (half the time?), the first Document (00000000000.eps) saves
OK...
...but then (always) the application just disappears -- no error = KnoW
nothin'.
The Variables (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k) are just numbers from 0-9, inside a
loop.
This script is supposed to generate every numerical combination for some
11 digit barcodes, built off of a "template" file that has most of the
settings already correct.
-- START SCRIPT --
set TheTemplate to choose file with prompt "Select the BarCode Template."
tell application "Bar Code Pro. with Veribar."
open TheTemplate
tell document 1
set TheNumber to (a & b & c & d & e & f & g & h & i & j & k) as text
set main input to (TheNumber as text)
set add_on input to ""
Do Menu (save) -- ERROR HERE -- WHY????
Do Menu (close)
end tell
end tell
-- END SCRIPT --
(Mac OS 9.1 -- AppleScript 1.5.5 -- Bar Code Pro. 3.55 Veribar -- G4 w/512
meg ram)
