I haven't gotten much further trying to access information returned as raw
data (treating it like a text string), and so I am now trying to achieve
something similar using Smile's "load resource".
I admit that I am wading in the muck up to my navel and not seeing terra
firma nearby.
Guidance much appreciated...web, here, direct, whatever.
I tried various things for "type class", as the dictionary entry didn't get
me very far. (Perhaps my lack of this sort of terminology, rather than a
comment on the dictionary.)
It says...
load resource small integer -- index of the desired resource
type type class -- type of the desired resource
from file specification -- file to read from
[as type class] -- an AppleScript type for the returned result
I have tried...
load resource x of type "TEXT" from mj as text
--><<data ctxt596F7572...3742E0D>>
But that didn't get me very far to actually getting the text, but gave me
the idea to try:
load resource 8001 type <<class ctxt>> from mj as text
--> compiles to: load resource x type text from mj as text
--> Error: a resource wasn't found
Next step?
Thanks,
