This is a wonderful list.
I have another puzzler for you, if you please. Is there a level of
complexity that AppleScript can't handle?
It seems to me that I often have better luck breaking scripts down into
tiny morsels than writing one big line. Here's an example. If I write:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
tell Chart 1
tell Series 1
tell its Values
get item 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
I get the error message
"Microsoft Excel got an error: Can't get item 1 of Values of Series 1
of Chart 1.
But if I write (what should be the same thing):
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
tell Chart 1
tell Series 1
get Values
get item 1 of the result
end tell
end tell
end tell
I have success!
So, wizards, how complex can I get before I have to start using "the
result?"
Regards,
Nelson Byrne
