I9m looking to make further use of AppleScript records, but have found very
little information about them in my reference books or on the web (how to
set, manipulate, different ways to read, dynamically build, etc.). Does
anyone know of a good reference for this (website or otherwise)?
Specifically right now, I9m looking for a way to dynamically set the
key/value pair of a record. It9s easy to set the value, but I can9t figure
out how to set the key. For example, I have an property defined in my
script which is empty. I want to get two lists of values from my database.
One list will be all the keys and the other list will be all the values
respectively. How do I build this on the fly?
Are AppleScript records considered a good, fast, efficient method of
scripting with lists or is it better to stick with plain lists?
Thanks
Matt
