Ok... what am I *really* doing...
I am making an AIM bot... not a porn bot or anything like that, just
one to respond to people in a semi-"human" way.
I have a script that AIM runs every time it gets a message. I need
to keep that one very quick, if not, AIM slows to a crawl.
I found a solution to this... the AIM script sends data to a buffer,
currently a TextEdit file. Another script (my Bot script) reads
from the buffer, processes the text, and, if needed, sends a
response back to AIM.
I am looking into having the buffer be another script... one that is
sent data from the AIM script and has data gathered by the Bot
script.
Would this be faster? If so, any ideas on the best way to do it?
I know nothing about bots or buffers or AIM but it seems to me all
you need is to mess with some text and that could be done in a single
script. If, for some reason I can't divine, you need an applet, then
do it like this:
run Your_Script
script Your_Script
copy "hello" to _sometext
tell my Your_StayOpen_Applet to processText(_sometext)
-- that will be tell app "Your Applet"
set _changedtext to result
display dialog _changedtext
end script
script Your_StayOpen_Applet
on processText(s)
set s to s & " :-)"
return s
end processText
end script
