Apple script texedit

Hello

Question is: How can I talk text edit app to take five first (seven, etc) words in the document and place it in another file? and any other words with specified numbers, EQ words of 4 to 8 in this text?

Thank you

The following script assumes that you already have a document open in TextEdit. It will prompt you for all of the words you want to extract in another document. This prompt looks like this to select the first ten words. You can also specify 4.9, or of a different range in the number of words in the document.

Copy and paste the following in your Script Editor AppleScript (launchpad: others: Script Editor). Click on the hammer to the compilation and the adjacent button icon to run it. You must save this twice. First of all, as the source of the AppleScript by selecting the file menu: Save... File format: text. This will add the extension of applescript to your script source. Press the option key and then file menu: Save under... and your file Format can be scpt, scptd or application. Put this one on your desk and quit the Script Editor.

    I am learning Apple Script and I came across a roadblock. I was playing around with "get position and it does not work."

    The script is: tell application "Finder" to get the position of Finder window 1.

    It compiles OK but when I run it I get this error: error "Finder has been an error: cannot get the window id position Finder 661 ' number 1728 from the position of the Finder window id 661.

    My latest version of Mac OS is 10.11.5.

    The script editor version is 2.8.1.

    Also I use Apple Training Series: Applescript 1-2-3.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Apple Script to apply rules in Mail.app

    • I've created some rules in my Mail.app to change the background color of specific messages
    • And I also created rules in the mail server in order to move the messages to a folder

    For messages in the Inbox folder, everything is fine.

    But if the message has been moved by the server rule in another folder, then rules the Mail.app do not apply (and reasons twisted, this is normal: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19162?locale=en_US & viewlocale = en_US).

    Then if I apply the rules manually by pressing Command + Option + L < code > < code >, Mail.app rules will apply as they should.

    I want to automate this action. Is it possible with Apple Script? Can you help me with this? The steps would include, I guess that:

    1. Choose the smart folder "today."
    2. Select all messages in this folder;
    3. Perform the action "Rules" for selection.

    < pre >

    using terms from application "Mail".

    Tell application "Mail".

    the value of the message_count in HOW-TO-GET-MESSAGES-FOR-TODAY-SMARTBOX County

    Repeat with i from 1 to the message_count

    the value this_message to article i of MESSAGES TODAY ' HUI-SMARTBOX

    say this_message

    -That's something like the RULES APPLY

    tell the end

    end repeat

    tell the end

    end using terms from

    < / pre >

    If it is not possible for a smart folder, then I want to do, it goes all messages in all mailboxes mailbox (or with messages in the specific mailbox).

    Apparently, this is not possible as long as such action is not be scriptable.

  • Open ssh server files automatically with apple script

    Hello from respected people

    I am trying to build an apple script first terminal connection open ssh with details and after connecting, it will open a python script which is on ssh server automatically. I want to do all these tasks in a script unique apple. I already tried to build automatic ssh connection and I did. but I am facing problem, how can I call a python script in ssh server automatically.

    I'm new in the apple script please help

    I tried it here 3 days but no luck, please help me

    At first glance, it seems to me that you need to refresh your ssh.

    # ssh some.host python /home/exe/ai.py

    will ssh to the specified host and run the command "python /home/exe/ai.py".

    To run this via AppleScript, put it in a shell script command:

    the shell script "ssh some.host python /home/exe/ai.py.

    JavaScript is not an equivalent to which clause of AppleScript. If your script JS version might look like this:

    myDoc var = app.activeDocument;
    var myFrames is myDoc.textFrames.everyItem () .getElements ();.
    var XX = [];
    for (i = 0; i< myframes.length;="" i++)="">

    XX.push (myFrame.ID);
    }
    }

    for (j = myFrames.length - 1; j > = 0; j-) {}

    You can watch it too deeply. You won't answer at all – looks like you want to open a new message coming out when a new coming. It is not serious what who is, or who he came (with the exception of yourself).

    So, here's an example - it checks the incoming message for make sure there is at least a message that is not your own address. Is there then it creates a new message and sends it.

    Use AppleScript version "2.4" - Yosemite (10.10) or later version

    Use Scripting additions

    property myAddress: "[email protected]."

    property myMessageBody: "you lucky dog.
