Applescript to write answers to individual file names


  • Subject: Applescript to write answers to individual file names

Hello everyone,

I am new to this board and am glad I have found it. I am trying (ha ha trying) to figure out how to write an applescript (or build it through automator) in which the script does the following:

take the input from a popup window: enter your user name, and takes the answer and writes it into a file in /tmp/uname
I also would like the popup window to ask for the users" password and take that answer and write it to a file in /tmp/passwd
I need to have 2 separate files.


The reason I need this is I need to have a user friendly interface in order to question users for their username and passwords and then take those 2 answers and write them into another file within the system.

I know that in UNIX scripting its easy to write the file such as: username answer > /tmp/uname

This doesn't appear to work the same in the applescript world.
Any help that I might be able to get on this subject would be greatly appreciated as I am lost on the whole applescript world.


I apologize if this topic has been covered in length before.
Thanks,

David
