property myName : [] --initialize the variable
on run args
set item 1 of args to myName -- pass the value of arg 1 to myName
return myName
end run
I run this script in Terminal with this command:
osascript name.applescript Name
I expect to get the value "Name" as output. Instead, I get a blank line, apparently because I have set the value of myName to [] when defining it as a property.
I thought that setting myName as a property would make it global in scope, and that the value could be reset from within a handler. How can I pass the value of arg 1 to the myName variable?
property some_name : "bob"
on run theArgList set n to item 1 of theArgList return n & " and " & some_name end run
osascript args.applescript betty
--> betty and bob
