Hello,

Looks like a job for XMLLib.osax.

Hello everybody,

I try to find a solution to run a XPath Query into an AppleScript.

To make my life easier, I've done the beginning with Automator.
1) Get Specified URLs
2) Get Link URLs from WebPages
3) Filter URLs ( because I didn't need some of the links )
4) Display Webpages
5) Run AppleScript

What I need from each page is :
id('textcontent')/x:h4 ==> title
id('textcontent')/x:table[1]/x:tbody/x:tr[2]/x:td ==> address
id('textcontent')/x:table[1]/x:tbody/x:tr[3]/x:td ==> infos 1
id('textcontent')/x:table[3]/x:tbody/x:tr[2]/x:td ==> infos 2

I've done a global query to make things easier.
id('textcontent')/x:h4 | id('textcontent')/x:table[1]/x:tbody/ x:tr[2]/x:td | id('textcontent')/x:table[1]/x:tbody/x:tr[3]/x:td | id('textcontent')/x:table[3]/x:tbody/x:tr[2]/x:td


How can I put it into an AppleScript and get the result into TeachText or OpenOffice?

Here is my starting script, for the moment it's not really far but it closes all tabs due to the numbers of pages open in Safari.

tell application "Safari"
	tell front window
		repeat while (count of tabs) is greater than 1
			close tab (count of tabs)
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

For sure I need a loop before closing each tab but as long as I can't get the Query working I don't know where to start...

I thank you in advance for your answer.

Thierry
