How can I pass a variable to a script that I'm running from another script as per example below?

Hey Robert,

Look in the Applescript Language Guide and search for "run script" with the quotes. You'll see you can pass parameters. (Unfortunately there are not good examples there.)

Here also is a link to the relevant page in "Learn AppleScript: The Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X".

I imagine Matt Neuberg has good examples in AppleScript: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition, but I don't feel like digging out my copy to look at the moment.

Ah, found it online.

In general I prefer to use libraries of handlers, and Script Debugger makes this particularly easy.

I also tend to discourage people from using the 'result' variable, because it makes debugging much more difficult as scripts get bigger.

Best Regards,

Chris
