This entails typing the phone number and the name then saving the script as a application.
Can I write a script that will have a dialog where I can type in the name and the phone number then press the ok button. After pressing the OK button I want the script to produce a application that is the name of the person. What I want to is automate the manual way I handle the script now.
As always thank you for your time and info.
The following script almost does what you want; however, it saves the script application as a classic app, which won't run in Snow Leopard.
set theName to the text returned of (display dialog "enter the name" default answer "") set theNUmber to the text returned of (display dialog "enter the phone number" default answer "") -- you might want to perform error checking for the phone number to make sure it's numeric and has the right number of digits
tell application "AppleScript Editor" set theDoc to make new document with properties {contents:"the script goes here"} save theDoc as "application bundle" in file ((path to desktop as text) & theName) end tell
