Hello:
I'm just starting out relearning AppleScript, Please bear with me.
I'm trying to use one variable, which contains the name of a second
variable, to change the value of the "named" variable. Make sense?
Here's the snippet I'm working on:
...
set RGBname to "SaveRGBImagesPrefix"
set FirstFrame to "FirstFrame"
set LastFrame to "LastFrame"
set FrameStep to "FrameStep"
set stuffToGet to {RGBname, FirstFrame, LastFrame, FrameStep}
log stuffToGet
repeat with x in stuffToGet
set searchWord to x
try
set text item delimiters to return
set i to text items of fileContents
repeat with foundIt in i
if foundIt contains searchWord then
log "Found line is " & foundIt
set text item delimiters to " "
set cleaned to (text items 2 thru -1 of foundIt) as string
log cleaned
HERE"S WHERE I NEED TO ASSIGN THE VALUE HELD IN CLEANED TO THE VARIABLE
CONTAINED IN SEARCHWORD
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set text item delimiters to oldDelims
on error what
set text item delimiters to oldDelims
display dialog "Sorry. " & what
end try
...
Thanks in advance for any help.
