  • Thread-topic: AS Application

I am trying to make an droplet application that will take a file and run it
through the YUI compressor.

When I have the commented out line with the display dialog show the command,
it looks perfect. When it runs as an application and I do the shell script,
it complains that it can't find the jar file. I have tried many variations
of this. I put the jar file in the scripts folder side by side with the
script. No dice. I then moved it into the resources folder (one up) and no
matter what path I give to it, it doesn't work.


on open filelist
    repeat with i in filelist
        set i to i as alias
        tell application "Finder" to set filename to the POSIX path of i
        set myArray to my theSplit(filename, ".")
        set ext to item (count myArray) of myArray as string
        set prefix to items 1 thru ((count myArray) - 1) of myArray
        set newname to join(prefix) & "min." & ext
        set myPath to (path to me) as text
        set myFolderPath to (do shell script "dirname " & POSIX path of
quoted form of myPath) as string
        --do shell script "java -jar " & myFolderPath &
"/yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar " & filename & " -o " & newname & " --charset
utf-8"
        do shell script  "java -jar " & myFolderPath &
"/yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar " & filename & " -o " & newname & " --charset
utf-8"
    end repeat
end open

on theSplit(theString, theDelimiter)
    -- save delimiters to restore old settings
    set oldDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    -- set delimiters to delimiter to be used
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to theDelimiter
    -- create the array
    set theArray to every text item of theString
    -- restore the old setting
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiters
    -- return the result
    return theArray
end theSplit

on join(theArray)
    set out to ""
    repeat with i in theArray
        set out to out & i & "."
    end repeat
    return out
end join



On another note, anyone see a better way to optimize this code? It seems far
too long for what it does albeit I am no AS pro. :/



Thanks

Steffan
