tell application "Finder" to get the startup disk's first folder's
item
1's name
--> "Applications"
which is a much closer analogy to dot syntax. I didn't follow that part of
the discussion which omitted this, but didn't realize that the writer just
didn't know about it.
I've been thinking about dot syntax and it's possibilities in AppleScript.
Honestly, it -could- be implemented without breaking ANY scripts. Try
this in Script Editor:
on dr.Mario(nursePeach)
--Let's try to compile this
end dr.Mario
If you compile it, it will error. This being on the latest beta of AS, I
don't think it would -too- hard to allow "x.y" for "x's y" since that's
almost the difference between "is equal to" and "=", but I'm not an expert
at AS's internals so I can't say for sure. Might be a thing for the AS
engineers to keep in mind.
