- Thread-topic: Filtering by author and file
Ignacio,
I can't see any way to get the author information from the Finder, this info
is accessible from Word
tell application "Microsoft Word"
value of document property 3 of active document
end tell
--> "Carlos Ysunza" in my case
So you or your script needs to open the doc in word and get this info and
then use the Finder to do the rest of the job.
Maybe you can filter your files {doc, pdf, rtf} and depending of it's kind
open up in the proper app.
Assuming that you are using TextEdit for rtf docs, I don't know any way to
gat this info, I can see nothing in the dictionary
