It comes from the no-error-checking-no-forward-thinking-it-just-works school of programming.

do shell script "cd ~/Desktop && curl -LOs `curl -s http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ | sed -En 's|.+a.href="" href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod///1|p'">http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/\\1|p'`"
Thanks.
I edited it a bit with my "standard" tools :
--[SCRIPT] path to pictures folder as text set dossier to POSIX path of (result & "APOD_Images:") do shell script "cd " & quoted form of dossier & " && curl -LOs `curl -s http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ | sed -En 's|.+a.href="" href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/\\1|p'">http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/\\1|p'`" tell application "ASObjC Runner" enumerate folder dossier set thePicture to item -1 of (rearrange files result in order by access date) name of (about file thePicture) (do shell script "date +%Y%m%d") & " » " & result modify file thePicture setting name result end tell --[/SCRIPT]
I'm quite sure that there is a neater way to achieve the same goal with some magic wand ;-)
