Hello all,
I have done some scripts to automate our newspapers workflow, but now
I have ran into a problem. I know this is simple, but before I start
raking through the Applescript Language guide to piece something
together, I was hoping someone could lend me a hand...
I have two scripts. I want to have values from each added to a
separate text document. How can I insert values into a text document?
Say for example..
... script ...
-- settting up the info a record format...
set report_data to {}
copy ("PDF Library Report for " & pubdate & return & return) to the end
of report_data
copy ("Number of files in Oman: " & (oman_bw_files + oman_color_files)
& return) to the end of report_data
copy ("Number of files copied over from Oman: " & (in_bw_files +
in_color_files) & return) to the end of report_data
now how would I get these values into a text document? And then how
could I set it up so that I could import more data from a second
script. I am thinking of doing it as such, but would like to see a way
with less coding (the below is just theoretical, not code)
set text of report (which is an alias to file) to item 1 of report_data
set report_working to text of report
set text of report to (report_working & item 2 of report_data)
set report_working to text of report
etc.
etc.
I went the route I did so that I could get the copy "Number of..." in
the document. If I could just insert the text into the end of
"pargraph 1", par. 3 and par 4 that would be great too. I have been
swamped with breakdowns so I have not been able to think clearly. If
there are any questions I will be in at 9 am EST on Monday and will
reply as soon as I can. Thank you all in advance for your help.
