Interarchy appears to have a great dictionary and I think it can do exactly
what I want it to do, but I am stumbling at the starting gates...
what I want Interarchy to do is go to a url I give it and grab two things,
the first is a file that matches a specific set of criteria (like `AA.*jpg`
in regex speak) and a link named "Next" for example. Then follow the link
"Next" and do the same thing until there is no link named "Next."
Something like this (but this does not work, obviously)
on run
set StartingURL to "
http://www.mycompany.com";
my SuckTheSite(StartingURL)
end
on SuckTheSite(TheURL)
tell application "Interarchy 4.1" --Runing under OS X if it matters
activate
set TheFiles to url TheURL -- That fails. How do I get the file listing?
set theJPGSet to every item of TheFiles whose name ends with "jpg"
set theJPG to every item of theJPGset whose name starts with "AA"
display dialog item 1 of theJPG -- should be one item
try
set NextLink to item of TheFiles whose name is "Next"
on error -- No more Next
return
end
my SuckTheSite(NextLink)
end tell
end
The pseudo-script sure LOOKS nice. Too bad it doesn't work. :)
