AppleScript includes a Standard Scripting Addition that contains several
commands known, collectively, as the file read/write commands. They are
thoroughly documented, with examples, in the AppleScript Language Guide
(ASLG), which is available for download from the AppleScript Web site at
www.apple.com/applescript. Although the ASLG is quite old, it is not
out-of-date with respect to the file read/write commands.
The file read/write commands are as close as AppleScript gets to "real
programming." They aren't for the faint of heart. Basically, they let you
write a script that will open any file (including an EXIF text file, read it
into variables line by line (skipping lines you don't care about), and then
close the file.
Once you understand how the file read/write commands work, from reading the
ASLG, writing the script you want will be a piece of cake.
Welcome to the list. When you get stuck on some details of your script, give
us a ring. We're a friendly group, and we love to give help to friendly
people.
