It is hard work to get selected text on Xcode.
Xcode does not work as we expected.

So, I selected the *dirty* way.
It works. But I'm not satisfied with....


<AppleScript>

tell application "Xcode"
  set a to selection
  if a is equal to missing value then return --no document window

  try
    set b to class of a
    set c to properties of a
    return --insertion point
      on error
        -- do nothing!!!
        --selection cause error here
        --Insertion point (no selection ) does not cause error
      end try

    activate

end tell

--execute command
tell application "System Events"
  keystroke "c" using {command down}
end tell

set selText to the clipboard

</AppleScript>

Dear AppleScripters,

I am trying to automate XCode via AppleScript. But I'm new to AppleScript, and have problems to figure out some basic things.
I need to access my current text selection, and also the name and the path of the currently edited open source document.


I found out that I can get the path via

    set thePath to associated file name of window 1

so I could also determine the document name by truncating the path if it is not available directly.
I managed to get the name and path information form text documents within the currently open project document (set theDoc to text document 1), but I don't know how to find out which one is currently displayed in the text editor. I also have no idea how to get the current text selection.


Thanks! Volker
