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
You can do that, but really Smile does it for you and easily.
Accelerate your migration! :-)
