I've searched for the answer to this question, but have been unsuccessful so far. For what I'd like to accomplish, it looks like dragging and dropping a file from a Finder window into an open application window is the only way I can find to produce the correct results.
I'd basically like to extract URLs from a group of .webloc files and put the resulting URLs onto their own separate lines in a text document. Because .webloc files are binary files, they can't be processed by opening them into a text editor or with any other extractor application I've found so far. I've only been able to get the URL by dropping the file into an open text document. Being a total AppleScript/coding newbie, I may have missed something but this doesn't seem possible to script. Is this possible? If not with AppleScript are there any other ways to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Aaron
