Will that use Spotlight's metadata index?
No. And it can't be guaranteed that an arbitrary user has Spotlight
enabled for a particular volume.
If you're going to call out to osadecompile anyway, it might (or
might not) be simpler to do the whole thing in the shell:
Yes and maybe faster, so something like:
cd ~/Desktop;ls *.scpt | while read f; do osadecompile ${f} | grep -q
'colorToFCP' && echo ${f};done;
works in Terminal but I'm having trouble somewhere along the way
getting it too work in Script Editor.
I think I'd have to 2>/dev/null somewhere in there…
set whatToLookFor to "on doit"
set matchingScriptFiles to paragraphs of (do shell script "mfind
-onlyin ~/Desktop 'kMDItemKind == \"Script\"' | while read f; do
osadecompile \"$f\" | grep -q " & quoted form of whatToLookFor & " &&
echo \"$f\"; done")
or if you only want the first file found:
set matchingScriptFile to POSIX file (do shell script "mfind -onlyin
~/Desktop 'kMDItemKind == \"Script\"' | while read f; do osadecompile
\"$f\" | grep -q " & quoted form of whatToLookFor & " && echo \"$f\"
&& break; done")
