G’day again.

This definitily does not work. ‘Do not have permission. I’ve set everything I can to full permissions, but can’t work out the correct permissions to add to do shell script “mkdir

I cannot work out how to open the correct MAN files.

tell application "TextEdit"

activate

do shell script "Sleep 1"

tell document 1

set pathToFile to ((path to desktop as alias) & "test" & ".rtfd" as text) # yearly_Desktop_Daily_Folder

save in pathToFile as alias

end tell

and just to save to the desktop, I’ve had to resort to….

tell application "TextEdit"

activate

do shell script "Sleep 1"

tell document 1

tell application "System Events" to tell process "TextEdit"

try

keystroke "s" using command down

do shell script "Sleep 1"

keystroke "2016-12-21 121212Z"

do shell script "Sleep .4"

# keystroke (ASCII character 9)

click pop up button 1 of group 2 of sheet 1 of window 1

do shell script "Sleep 1"

try

click menu item "Desktop" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of group 2 of sheet 1 of window 1

end try

do shell script "Sleep 1"

click pop up button 1 of group 1 of group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1

do shell script "Sleep 1"

try

click menu item "Rich Text Document" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1

end try

do shell script "Sleep 1"

click button "Save" of sheet 1 of window 1

on error errmsg number errnum

tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Major Error: Code error in fileAndMailHandlingSubRoutineSaveAsrtf whilst preparing trying to save rtfd document with TextEdit. Error number " & errnum & " Error " & errmsg as text giving up after 20

end try

end tell

Trouble is, I’ve lots of different files to save. This latest update to Sierra has really thrown aspanner in three works.

Please, any thoughts

Regards

Santa
