- Thread-topic: Finding Filenames that contain a certain string
> Dammit. That's just NOT true. Perhaps beginners can think they understand when
reading a script carefully crafted to look like English poetry but they
certainly cannot produce that kind of stuff without a couple of years of
monitoring this list. Forcing object-oriented programming concepts on beginners
- hah!
OK, Not to beat a dead horse of a different color, but here's a few thoughts
on this thread, for what it's worth
Think over the rainbow.
Some (not all) Unix shell scripting experts come from a totally different
scripting environment than AppleScripters. Their Unix shell scripting world
is all black & white, and they're often doing critical work (someone's gotta
vaccinate them bandwidth hogs and then install the north forty).
When they visit realm of AppleScript and AppleScript users and application
worklfow scripting and Mac OS X user interface, it's like Dorothy waking up
in the land of Oz. Some of them see us as AppleScript "purists," munchkins
in our little lullaby leagues and lollypop guilds, sticking to yellow brick
roads cause we're brainless, heartless, cowards. And they may think
AppleScripting mac applications is little more than a buff-buff here a touch
up there, with a couple of verbose tra-la-las.
On the AppleScript users list that translates, in some cases, to disdain for
application scripting, AppleScript, AppleScripters, AppleScript syntax,
Applescript technology and our little dogs too.
And all their chatter about shell scripting and how much better it is than
AppleScript is just like Dorothy telling everybody she meets that she just
wants to go home.
Well, Shell Scripters, click your heels together and subscribe to the
MacScripting list and you will be home. And Has is there and Jon is there
and Emmanuel and Paul and Shane ...
