Thanks for the help. Initializing the error to nil did the trick.

I am trying to create a NSAppleScript object using a applescript file.
The code is as follows,


NSDictionary* errorInfo;
NSAppleScript *script = [[NSAppleScriptalloc] initWithContentsOfURL: scriptURL error: &errorInfo];


As per the documentation, on return 'errorInfo' should point to a dictionary containing error messages.

But strangely, on return, 'errorInfo' is not pointing to object of NSDictionary, instead it is
pointing to '_NSRepresentationInfo' object.


I have used the following code to find the class of 'errorInfo',
Class temp = [errorInfo class];
NSLog(@"%@", temp);

I can see the class type as _NSRepresentationInfo in console, on running the code.

Because of this, my application crashes, when I use NSDictionary API's like objectForKey, count etc on errorInfo.
The crash log shows,
[_NSRepresentationInfo count] selector not recognized


This happens when I run my application in Japanese language.
Any idea, why NSAppleScript is not returning NSDictionary object, when error occurs?


Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Are you sure an error occured? Try to initialize your error to nil before creating your script. I think initWithContentsOfURL: error: do not touch your errorInfo object and as it is not initialized, is point to a random memory adress that contains an _NSRepresentationInfo.
