Hey Folks,

Okay, our discussion a while back prompted Shane Stanley to add language-input-switching to his BridgePlus ASObjC-library.

It's now out of beta:

BridgePlus Script Library v1.2.0

http://macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/BridgePlus.html

http://macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/BridgePlus_stuff.zip

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

~/Library/Script Libraries/BridgePlus.scptd

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usage:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

use framework "Foundation"

use script "BridgePlus"

load framework

set availableInputSources to (current application's SMSForder's availableInputSourceIDs()) as list

set allAvailableInputSources to (current application's SMSForder's allAvailableInputSourceIDs()) as list

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

set langSwitchResult to current application's SMSForder's changeInputSourceTo:"com.apple.keylayout.French"

delay 0.1

set langSwitchResult to current application's SMSForder's changeInputSourceTo:"com.apple.keylayout.Russian"

delay 0.1

set langSwitchResult to current application's SMSForder's changeInputSourceTo:"com.apple.keylayout.US"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

langSwitchResult will return true or false depending upon success or failure.

There are some other useful features in that baby too — such as regex match and replace.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

use framework "Foundation"

use bpLib : script "BridgePlus"

load framework

set l to {"one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten"}

set sortedList to bpLib's sortListOfStrings:l caseSensitive:false

set _str to "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."

set newStr to bpLib's regexReplace:"\\bmen\\b" withThis:"women" inString:_str

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not bad for a 365KB library.

Best Regards,

Chris
