AppleScript faster

• Is faster than javascript applescript?

  I wrote quite a few applescripts and have had many scripts that run very slowly.

  The script would go faster if I translate it in javascript?

  If javascripts are faster than the applescripts, I'd have an extra motivation to learn javascript :-)

  Hi Luke,.

  In my view, that the script language has no serious impact on speed as long as your script mainly focuses on DOM operations, which is usually the case.

  Indeed, no matter how quickly vs AppleScript JS codes are interpreted and translated into orders DOM InDesign, execution time depends on the common subsystem.

  However, the Scripting Guys have reported a few cases where the scripting language seems to count. A well-known example is which clause of AppleScript that targets the DOM in a way that has no direct equivalent in JS. In this case, we can assume that any solution based on the JS will run more slowly.

  Now, what about the DOM routines, such as processing very wide range trie, calculating long strings or operated on a lot of floating-point numbers? It's an open question for me, as I have no skill in AppleScript. But my intuition leads me to believe that JS is a better choice for these tasks.

• AppleScript for numbers

  Hello

  I have an AppleScript script that helps me generate a price list. Everything works fine but since an update, it behaves a little different.

  When I started to use the script, it was very fast, staying in a datasheet, but since I updated my Mac (cannot say if it is a update or update OS X), it then passes between the two sheets in the script, which makes it really slow.

  Anyone experienced this? Anyone who has a solution?

  This is the script in question:

  Tell application "Numbers."

  activate

  tell document before

  say the sheet "Prislista.

  tell the table 1

  the bredd_count value (count the columns)

  the hojd_count value (count lines)

  bredd_start value 2 - to allow the column 1 header

  the hojd_start value 3 - to allow 2 header lines

  Repeat with next_bredd of bredd_start to bredd_count

  Repeat with next_hojd of hojd_start of (hojd_count - 1)-to note in the bottom row

  the value hojd value of cell line next_hojd 1

  a value of cell 2 of column next_bredd bredd have thong

  If bredd contains "-" then the value text-3 thru-1 of bredd bredd

  Define bredd to (bredd as integer)

  the value taken my get_price (bredd, hojd)

  value of the cell line next_hojd in PRI next_bredd

  end repeat

  end repeat

  tell the end

  tell the end

  tell the end

  display alert "list price recalculated!" give up after 20

  tell the end

  on get_price (bredd, hojd)

  Tell application "Numbers."

  tell document 1

  say the sheet "taken."

  tell the table 'matt '.

  the value of cell "A2" bredd

  the value of cell "B2" hojd

  tell the end

  has taken value of cell "B3" from "Taken" table

  tell the end

  tell the end

  tell the end

  end get_price

  Could you post a screenshot of the two tables?  That would make the problem easier to diagnose.

• I need help to create an AppleScript to autoclicking.

  I just started using AppleScript, so there is still a lot of things I don't know. Currently, I'm doing a script where I can click in an infinite loop / repeat. I received this understood part and now I want to step up a notch by making a condition where in when I right click with my mouse, I'll be able to enable / disable this script. Or even shut down the loop with a right click. In addition, I would also add a bonus dialog box once I finished the script by right-clicking.

  Here's my working process.

  say application "System events".

  -a loop (# repeat, repeat times)

  repeat 10 times

  -trigger system event are asked to use the button code 87 (left click on the mouse)

  say application 'System events' in the key code 87

  delay 1

  end Repeat

  end say

  
  

  
  

  -Right click

  say application 'System events' to code key of {command down} 87

  -closing of the script

  display the dialog box "Do you want to exit this script?" buttons {"Exit", "Continue"} default button 1

  If result = {return button: "Exit"} then

  return

  end if

  
  

  The upper part of the script, this is what I mentioned the first where I get an infinite loop to the left, click the mouse button. The two scripts from the bottom is what I would like to integrate the above script to get the result I want. An infinite loop with condition (right click) to disable the script and a message if poster after the script has stopped.

  Hi Cloud4846. One option is to create a small utility to detect a mouse button for use in an AppleScript script. Copy and paste the following in a text editor Swift code as text Sublime and record your desktop with a file extension .swift using a name such as mouse.swift:

  import of Foundation

  import AppKit

  TranslateButtonState(buttonState: Int)-> {String Func

  If (buttonState == 1 < < 0) {return "left" ;}

  If (buttonState == 1 < < 1) {return 'right' ;}

  go back to 'none '.

  }

  buttonState var = NSEvent.pressedMouseButtons)

  Print (TranslateButtonState (ButtonState))

  With Xcode installed, compile the code above with the Swift compiler in Terminal using the following command, which places the binary file in usr:

  xcrun - sdk macosx swiftc ~/Desktop/mouse.swift o/usr/local/bin/mouse

  You can test the utility in a Terminal before control of the mouse with a delay and press left mouse button to the right:

  sleep 1; mouse

  Output returned is one of the 'left', 'right' or 'none '. The utility also works with a finger or two mechanical depression of a trackpad for the primary and the secondary finger click respectively.

  You can use the utility in an AppleScript script to display a dialog box message when a mouse button is released, in this example the right button of the mouse. Keep in mind it's because of the single-threaded nature AppleScript and that the 'do shell script' in the loop with delay, is really only practical with time short longer times require holding down the mouse button longer:

  Tell application "system events".

  Repeat 10 times

  the mouseDown value (the shell script ' / usr/local/bin/mouse ")

  If mouseDown = "right" then

  button code 87

  dialogue box "Do you want to exit this script?" the default button buttons {'Exit', 'Continue'} 1

  If result = {return button: "Exit"} then

  return

  end if

  on the other

  delay 0.5

  button code 87

  delay 0.5

  end if

  end repeat

  tell the end

  Instead of using a mouse button down event to trigger a dialog box, you can use a key as a modifier key. Copy and paste the code Swift following in a text editor and save it to your desktop with a file extension .swift using a name such as modKeys.swift:

  import of Foundation

  import AppKit

  TranslateModifierFlags(modifierFlags: NSEventModifierFlags)-> {String Func

  Let rawModifierFlags = modifierFlags.rawValue

  var pressedButtons = [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission

  If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.ControlKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Control")}

  If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.AlternateKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Option")}

  If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.ShiftKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Shift")}

  If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.CommandKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Command")}

  If (pressedButtons.count > 0) {}

  return pressedButtons.joinWithSeparator("")

  }

  go back to 'none '.

  }

  var modifierFlags = NSEvent.modifierFlags)

  Print ((modifierFlags) TranslateModifierFlags)

  With Xcode installed, compile the code above with the Swift compiler in Terminal using the following command, which places the binary file in usr:

  xcrun - sdk macosx swiftc ~/Desktop/modKeys.swift o/usr/local/bin/modKeys

  You can test the utility in a Terminal before control of the mouse with a delay and pressing one of the four control, Option, shift, and control modifier keys individually or in combination:

  sleep 1; modKeys

  Output returned is one or more of 'Control', 'Option', 'Shift' and 'order '. An example of the usefulness and the SHIFT key, used in an Applescript script:

  Tell application "system events".

  Repeat 10 times

  the keyDown value (the shell script ' / usr/local/bin/modKeys ")

  If keyDown = 'Shift' then

  button code 87

  dialogue box "Do you want to exit this script?" the default button buttons {'Exit', 'Continue'} 1

  If result = {return button: "Exit"} then

  return

  end if

  on the other

  delay 0.5

  button code 87

  delay 0.5

  end if

  end repeat

  tell the end

  More appropriate to use modifier keys are shift and Option.

• AppleScript, XMP and custom namespaces

  Having had to change gears of JS to solve a problem of integration of database, I could use help specific XMP out of my files HAVE via AppleScript. It extracts the forums InDesign... does not work for illustrator (gives the error "expected expression but found property")

  say links

  the value of InhouseClient for namespace 'http://ns.Inhouse.com/Inhouse' link 'customer xmp property path '.

  tell the end

  I know that I can throw the entire string of XMP with:

  the XMPStringData value (get the string XMP in the active document)

  but I prefer to do something like the first example. If I was in JS, I would use

  property var = myXmp.getProperty (propertyuri, propertyname, XMPConst.STRING);

  The syntax seems close enough to the first AppleScript, but why it chokes on 'ownership' in an 'Illustrator to say"when working inside a"tell InDesign? "

  Oh my Lord working with shell's FAST!

  Work on a remote server, a small applescript to call a shell script grabs the path for the files 20 000 + 2000 + jobs in a little more than 5 minutes to interfere in my FMPro database. The only applescript would take 30 hours and has been getting interrupted by the Server timeouts.

  'Mdfind"Marc did not work for me, probably because I was failing at a different shell script language.  What works for me:

  fileString value (the script 'find' shell & city form of searchPath & ""-maxdepth 1 - iname * .ai "")

  who writes a list to disable the paths to the files found in the searchPath passed to the shell script.

  Next step is to add a subroutine to search for xmp use EXIFTool... the first tests tell me that this is the easiest part.

• What can I do if the script runs faster than the network?

  I wrote a script between applications moving to InDesign, where he begins to AppleScript, to Photoshop, which AppleScript runs a JavaScript script to perform various tasks.

  It works beautifully on my laptop at home where I do my development. Yesterday, using me as a Guinea pig, I tried it in the office.

  On the third round, I was horrified to see the ExtendScript Toolkit pop up with an error message (about as welcome to see an AppleScript script, asking the user to open the Script Editor and fix a script).

  The error message was that app.bringToFront (); was not a valid function.

  This was the case in InDesign, which has a different activation function, and I realized that, even if my AppleScript called Photoshop activate, I was still in InDesign.

  The app.bringToFront JavaScript was so called because I had joined my code in the model of Tranberry.

  So I pressed the button stop on ExtendScript, returned to InDesign and represented the script. This time he worked as usual.

  Occasionally on our network we spend some time beachball - watch as a communication happens in the background. So I guess the time wherever the error was thrown was on one of these downturns in the network.

  The passage of InDesign, Photoshop is not happening pretty fast, but the script has run and has issued an order Photoshop JavaScript while I was still in InDesign.

  In AppleScript this unhappy communication with users can be avoided using blocks '... try error'.

  Is there an equivalent of the error handling in JavaScript that would allow me to avoid being tossed in the ExtendScript Toolkit and give them a friendly message to apologize, explaining what had happened and inviting them to try again?

  JavaScript has try/catch blocks

  try {}

  app.bringToFront ();

  } catch (e) {}

  error handling code

  }

  Or you might be able to use an if statement

  If (app == 'photoshop') {}

  app.bringToFront ();

  } else {}

  app handle not photoshop

  }

• The AppleScript get cell numbers active

  I want to create a script that checks the active cell or column better / assets to the keyboard layout for the automatic switch from English to Korea and visa versa...

  I can't find it anywhere... where to get the active column? Help, please!

  AppleScript to affect the current selection (if the selection is a single cell, an entire column or some other range) is as follows:

  say application "Numbers".

  say front worksheet active document

  say ( class is worn) fromfirst table whose selection range

  say a selection range

  -do things here, for example:

  -the value of background color "red".

  -value of the first cell value v

  end say

  end say

  end say

  end say

  However, from keyboard, I don't know why you should check the specific range in number.  You may want to watch v (value in, say, the first cell) to check if it is in Korean or in another language?

• Mobile use goes fast iOS 10

  It's all good in iOS 10 in my iPhone 6 s more. Yet, mobile usage drives really quickly without help strongly.

  I always use wifi and disable the function of the mobile use of apps, iCloud backup, etc. that can use a large amount of mobile data. Most of the time I'm on wifi environment and mobile data died. When I'm in the open air, I have to use mobile data, mobile data uses very fast even if I'm not using very shortly. I have to be turned off whenever the mobile data or otherwise all my mobile data will be used to the top.

• Test of specific character in Applescript

  Hi Applescript community!

  I try to write a code in which will perform a different action depending on the 1st character of a .txt file. This is my code so far (I'm fairly new to Applescript, so I'm sorry if this is a basic question)

  say application "TextEdit".

  If the first character of "/ Users/Goombado/Documents/applescript_test.txt" is 1 then

  display the dialog box 'Hi. '

  on the other

  display the dialog box 'Hello '.

  tell the end

  end if

  
  

  Is it possible to do in Applescript?

  Thanks in advance,

  set this to read "/ Users/Goombado/Documents/applescript_test.txt".

  If this begins by '1' then

  display the dialog box 'Hi. '

  on the other
