Hi,
(Power PC G4 OS X 10.3.8)
The following script to save an AppleWorks 6 file results in
additional characters at the front and back of the file that don't
appear in a manual save. The file being opened is an AppleWorks file
previously saved as HTML, in which I need to change a URL link, then
re-save. It opens, converting to text as an untitled document. Then
I tinker and try to save it back replacing the original HTML file.
Besides the crappy tinkering script, what am I doing wrong with the
save part?
Thanks,
Andy Hurst

================================================
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
select characters 31 thru 36 of paragraph 11 of the front document
set closingtext to the selection
cut the selection
select characters 13 thru 30 of paragraph 11 of the front document
cut the selection
set standard_logo_spec to standard_logo_spec & closingtext
set characters 13 thru 80 of paragraph 11 of the front document to
standard_logo_spec
save the front document in html_file_spec as file type text with
replacing
close the front document saving no
end tell
=================================================
It may help to use this syntax:
set html_file_spec to "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Documents:bzz"
set standard_logo_spec to "Yk yk YK yk"
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
select characters 31 thru 36 of paragraph 11 of the front document
set closingtext to the selection
cut the selection
select characters 13 thru 30 of paragraph 11 of the front document
cut the selection
set standard_logo_spec to standard_logo_spec & closingtext
set characters 13 thru 80 of paragraph 11 of the front document to
standard_logo_spec
set traducteur to my estCeAWfrancais()
save the front document in file html_file_spec as file type "TEXT"
using translator traducteur with replacing
close the front document saving no
end tell
on estCeAWfrancais()
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
if (version as text) starts with "FU1-" then
set tr to "Texte"
else
set tr to "Text"
end if
end tell -- Appleworks
return tr
end estCeAWfrancais
CAUTION, the translator name is not the same for every localised
version.
