i dont claim to be more than a mere beginner script wise
in fact, migrating to OSX is one big jumb, but i'm getting there
all this shell scripts and grep's is way over my head :-))
ok - i'll admit it; i luv the ole fashioned applescript where Bob
the folder had a life of its own :-)) (remember the apple script
guide in OS 9 ? )
but I spent sunday doing some scripts that involved path to and it
really annoyed me that path to in a script was to Apple's script
editor
( and yes I know that other script editors are otherwise - but hey
when something works for you - at least I, am slow to migrate :-)))
)
so I had to run scripts outside editor to see if they worked and if
you check your script bit by bit (like you should do) that can be a
pain !
so i devised of this little trick to watch if the script bits were ok
( getting the 'result' another way, since 'result' in editor dont
show what you want to see)
***
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
set header of front document to whatEver
end tell
***
where whatEver is where you have gotten to in the script
this way you can follow how the sundry script bits progress
