Thanks Shane!

By using your taught scripts, I made almost same as “attribute runs”.
How can we get string value from NSAttributedString by range?


<AppleScript>
use AppleScript version "2.4"
use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit"

set fRes to choose file of type {"public.rtf"}

set aFilePath to current application's NSString's stringWithString:(POSIX path
of fRes)
set aData to current application's NSData's dataWithContentsOfFile:aFilePath
options:0 |error|:(missing value)
set theStyledText to current application's NSMutableAttributedString's
alloc()'s initWithData:aData options:(missing value)
documentAttributes:(missing value) |error|:(missing value)

set styleList to {}

set theLength to theStyledText's |length|()
set startIndex to 0
repeat
        set {theAtts, theRange} to theStyledText's attributesAtIndex:startIndex
longestEffectiveRange:(reference) inRange:{0, theStyledText's |length|()}

        --String
        --set aText to theAtts's |string|()
        --log aText

        --Color
        set aColor to (theAtts's valueForKeyPath:"NSColor")
        if aColor is not equal to missing value then
                set aRed to (aColor's redComponent()) * 255
                set aGreen to (aColor's greenComponent()) * 255
                set aBlue to (aColor's blueComponent()) * 255
                set colList to {aRed as integer, aGreen as integer, aBlue as
integer}
        else
                set colList to {0, 0, 0}
        end if

        --Font
        set aFont to (theAtts's valueForKeyPath:"NSFont")
        if aFont is not equal to missing value then
                set aDFontName to aFont's displayName()
                set aDFontSize to aFont's pointSize()
                log {aDFontName, aDFontSize}
        end if

        set the end of styleList to {colorVal:colList, fontName:aDFontName as
string, fontSize:aDFontSize}

        -- do stuff with theAtts here
        set rangeEnd to current application's NSMaxRange(theRange)
        if rangeEnd ≥ theLength - 1 then exit repeat
        set startIndex to rangeEnd + 1
end repeat

return styleList
—>      {​​​​​{​​​​​​​colorVal:{​​​​​​​​​0, ​​​​​​​​​0, ​​​​​​​​​0​​​​​​​},
​​​​​​​fontName:”Helvetica”, ​​​​​​​fontSize:12.0​​​​​},
​​​​​{​​​​​​​colorVal:{​​​​​​​​​255, ​​​​​​​​​0, ​​​​​​​​​0​​​​​​​},
​​​​​​​fontName:"Helvetica", ​​​​​​​fontSize:12.0​​​​​},
​​​​​{​​​​​​​colorVal:{​​​​​​​​​0, ​​​​​​​​​0, ​​​​​​​​​0​​​​​​​},
​​​​​​​fontName:"Helvetica", ​​​​​​​fontSize:12.0​​​​​},
​​​​​{​​​​​​​colorVal:{​​​​​​​​​255, ​​​​​​​​​0, ​​​​​​​​​0​​​​​​​},
​​​​​​​fontName:"Helvetica", ​​​​​​​fontSize:12.0​​​​​}​​​}
</AppleScript>
