I have a script (which I am using in RealBasic) that gets the info for
a
selected file. When I select HTML files created in Dreamweaver the
script
gives me an error message saying it cannot get the default application.
Is there a way to check which information has been returned before
trying to
access that information - something like:
if default application of thisFileInfo then
end if
(I tried this and it didn't work, said default application wasn't a
boolean)
Here's my script:
set infoToReturn to {}
set thisFilePath to choose file with prompt "Select a file to convert."
copy (thisFilePath as string) & "::" to end of infoToReturn
set thisFileInfo to info for thisFilePath
copy name of thisFileInfo & "::" to end of infoToReturn
copy creation date of thisFileInfo & "::" to end of infoToReturn
copy modification date of thisFileInfo & "::" to end of infoToReturn
copy name extension of thisFileInfo & "::" to end of infoToReturn
copy kind of thisFileInfo & "::" to end of infoToReturn
copy default application of thisFileInfo & "::" to end of infoToReturn
return infoToReturn
It's right, default application is not a boolean, it is a pathname.
One track maybe something like that:
try
tell theDefaultApplication to open thisFilePath
on error
display dialog "It seems that the default app is not available"
end try
