Title: Re: One for the experts: Serial Number of computer using Applescript Studio
All of the sn retrieval suggestions worked in Tiger 10.4.1 just fine. However, how could I pull the serial number without the result being-
“Serial Number: QP510016PNZ"
But rather just the sn so I can paste it into the Remote Desktop computer info fields? Such as-
“QP510016PNZ”
I used the following script to do this in 10.3 but it won’t work in 10.4 for some reason.
set Profile to do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType"
set SN_Start to ((offset of "Serial Number" in Profile) + 15)
set Partial to text SN_Start thru (length of Profile) of Profile
set SN_End to offset of " " in Partial
set SN to text 1 thru SN_End of Partial
These are the two scripts I’ve found will work in 10.4 but gives me the whole sn line:
do shell script "system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep Serial"
And
tell application "System Profiler"
set SN to ""
set sp to system profile
repeat with p in paragraphs of sp
if p contains "Serial Number:" then
set SN to contents of p
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
SN
end tell
