Hi,
I have an AppleScript which returns a "list" of strings. But I think I am
using a strange Cocoa way to get this list. May you please tell me whether I
am doing right?
My AppleScript is:
------------------
set myList to {}
copy "item_1" to end of myList
copy "item_2" to end of myList
copy "item_3" to end of myList
return myList
My Cocoa code is:
------------------
NSAppleEventDescriptor *mainDesc, subDesc ;
mainDesc = [myAppleScript executeAndReturnError:nil];
if(mainDesc == nil) NSLog(@"mainDesc is nil");
else{
int i, items = [mainDesc numberOfItems];
if(items > 0){
for(i = 1; i <= items; i++){
subDesc = [mainDesc descriptorAtIndex:i];
if(subDesc)
NSLog(@"subDesc %d string: %@", i, [newDesc stringValue]);
}
}
NSLog(@"mainDesc string: %@", [mainDesc stringValue]);
}
I noted that when the list contains one item only,
[mainDesc stringValue] is not null and return the right string.
But, when the list contains more than one item,
[mainDesc stringValue] is null and I have to iterate within the mainDesc to
get all the items. Also the iterator items start from 1. Is all of this
correct?
Best Regards
