Ok, here is an easy one. I have done this before but for the life of
me cannot find my snippet of code that does it anywhere.
I have an plist file that I am planning to read from and write to
using AppleScript. My problem here lies in how do I create a new
property in the plist file (making the plist longer).
My plist file currently looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>ARYLib1</key>
<array>
<string>Some String</string>
<string>Some other String</string>
<false/>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
So... I would be creating new ARYLib properties and increment them as
I do. Also, if someone would also give me the snippet to remove
properties from a plist file that would be nice too (I am sure I can
figure it out but hey, why re-invent the wheel if you don't have to?).
Any takers?
Check Satimage-software's XMLLib.osax, it's free and it provides all
commands you will need.

For instance here you would do:
set myPlist to PlistOpen theFile
PlistSet myPlist key "NewKey" to SomeValue -- can be a string, a
number, a list, a record, ...
Removing is not harder:
PlistRemoveChild myPlist key "OldKey"
