By “framework”, I simply meant all system components related to AppleScript.
I’m in Script Editor 2.11 in Mojave10.14.3.
Changing the last two occurrences of “string” to “text” allowed the script to
compile:
use AppleScript version "2.5"
use scripting additions
set tmpfile to (path to temporary items folder as string) & "exp_" &
(characters 3 thru end of ((random number) as text) as text)
I wasn’t aware that would affect the ability to compile when lines starting
with the “use” verb preceded the line in the script. The original form compiles
if the “use” statements follow the line instead of preceding it, although
moving them might also have unintended results. That means it may be related to
AppleScript after all. Anyway, I should be able to continue my experimenting
now.
Thanks.
