This unfortunately doesn't answer your specific question but instead of using
the Apple System Profiler.app and parsing out the results why not just use
set asp to do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler"
which returns your info as a result into the variable asp and you can
manipulate it however you wish or if you have BBEdit (full version, possibly
lite version too I haven't tried it) installed you can use
do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler | bbedit"
to have the complete (or partial, see below) results put into a window in
BBEdit.
If you only want one specific item of the result you can use 'grep' to grab just
that piece of info. For Example -
set asp to do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler | grep 'IP'"
--> " IP = 10.0.0.10"
Last but not least you can even redirect the partial result to a file or BBEdit
do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler | grep 'Ethernet address' |
bbedit" -- line wrapped OMM
which will place " Ethernet address = 00.03.93.15.FB.54" into a new BBEdit
window.
