Keychain script

The applescript file:

http://davidcrowe.ca/AppleScript/GetKeychainItem.scpt.zip

contains a script that takes a string as user input and finds all matching keychain items on any parameter other than the password using the command line "Security" app.

If there is only one matching string the password is put on the clipboard and the user is given the choice of viewing the password or, if a URL can be constructed, pointing the default browser to the URL of the keychain item.

If there are multiple matching strings the user can choose one of them from a list before selecting to view the password or go to the URL.

I have noticed some rather strange behaviour from the security application so I can't promise that this is bug free. But if you do find bugs please let me know and I'll try to fix them. If the program fails it will put the security commands that generated an error on the clipboard, so please send me that if possible.

I use the keychain a lot and find that more and more websites are not auto-filling correctly, and taking a detour to the keychain app takes too much time.
