passing parameters to an AppleScript from Objective-C


  • Subject: passing parameters to an AppleScript from Objective-C

Dear list,

I'm a recent convert from Carbon-land, and I'm still feeling my way around Cocoa. So, please excuse my ignorance.

I have an app which includes an AppleScript file. I want to load and execute the script, but also pass a parameter to it.

If I had no parameters, I think I'd do something like this:

NSDictionary* theDict = [NSDictionary new];
NSAppleScript* exportDataScript = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:exportDataScriptURL error:&theDict];
NSAppleEventDescriptor* desc = [exportDataScript executeAndReturnError:&theDict];


The parameter I'm passing is an AEDescList, if that makes any difference.


Thanks for any help, or links to the docs which explain this,

-Dan.
