Hi,
How do I make a loop repeat forever, until I exit it? Here's my
script:
set i to 1
repeat 5 times
set celladdr to "R" & i & "C" & 1
set i to i + 1 -- add 1 to i
tell application "Excel"
Select Range celladdr
CopyObject Selection
set tname to the clipboard
end tell
display dialog tname
--if tname is empty then exit repeat
if (tname is "") then exit repeat
end repeat
(You can tell I come from the Hypertalk tradition -- I'm annoyed that
AS isn't *exactly* like HC - Apple *does* have the code after all, and
I'd bet there are a heck of a lot of HC scripters still out there..)
I assume Apple isn't going to release information on how to write a
new dialect, so that a "Hypertalk" (or Transcript, for Revolution fans)
dialect could be written? (Myself, I think a Scheme dialect would be
cool, but..)
