Script using AppleScript GUI does not

Before we go too complicated, I'm starting to get a basic copy/paste using keyboard shortcuts to work. In theory, if I can copy a value of cells in another cell using keyboard shortcuts, I can use keyboard shortcuts, I need more complex scripts.

Can someone more well informed that I look over the below basic code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

(I added the script editor to the security settings for accessibility to allow him to control the computer.)

My code for a simple copy/paste in figures (other programs also not to answer):

on run

say application "Numbers".

activate

if not (there are document 1) then error number 1000

say document 1

tell the worksheet active

the value the selectedtable to (the first table whose class of selection range is range)

the value myRows to count the lines in selectedtable

say selectedtable

the value the selection range of cell 2 of rank 3

sendCopy

the value the selection range of cell 4 of rank 3

sendPaste

end say

end say

end say

end say

end run


on sendCopy()

say application 'Numbers' to Activate

say application "System events".

say application process "Numbers".

key sequence « C »

end say

e nd dire

end sendCopy


on sendPaste()

say application 'Numbers' to Activate

say application "System events".

say application process "Numbers".

key sequence « V »

end say

end say

end sendPaste

Thank you

You favorite the AppleScript Language Guideand then use the appropriate syntax:

key sequence Using 'C' command down


key sequence 'V' with the command down


It may or may not be other contributory factors in your script as to why it does not work.

  • the AppleScript editor does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem: the applescript editor does not start. When I try to open this program, finder show that the editor is running. But he doesn't show me toolbar, mb air boot costs and in fact, that's all.

    Can someone help me? screen filming wrote: no answer

    Hello sashasonia,

    Looks like the AppleScript editor does not open on your Mac and activity monitor shows that the program is not responding. I know how about them can be when programs and applications do not work as expected and I'm happy to help you to get AppleScript up and run again.

    The first step is to force the AppleScript Editor to quit smoking and then try opening it again. To force the closure of the program, follow these steps:

    To close an application normally, choose leave in the application menu in the menu bar, or press command-Q. If an application does not respond, you can force it to close it using the Force to leave:

    1. Choose force quit from the Apple menu, or press Command-Option-Esc.
      This is to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete on a PC.
    2. Select the application does not respond within the window to leave, then click on force quit.

    Force a nearby application on your Mac.

    If the AppleScript editor does not respond when you try to open it again, restart your Mac. To restart, select the  in the upper left corner of your screen, then "restart". Try again the AppleScript editor once you are logged into your user account.

    If you still can't not to get the editor AppleScript work correctly, follow the steps outlined in the article below to start your Mac in safe mode, and then test the program again. Since starting in safe mode removes certain system and kernel hiding, check your startup disk and tries to fix the problems of directory, you will want to restart your Mac as usual again and test AppleScript editor once more when you are connected to your user account.

  • Player version listed in the GUI does not match that of the executable file (new)

    I've posted about this before (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4817948), but has never been able to find an answer.

    I am currently deployment of Adobe Reader versions 10.1.5 using the MSI installer and group policy. The problem is that a user stops his midway to Windows 7 computer while installation MSI interrupt (i.e. screwing) installation process. I had to remove some entries from the registry and restart the PC of the user in order to restart the installation of the reader (something I've done in the past).

    To verify that the drive has been installed successfully, I navigate to the Reader (AcroRd32.exe) executable Program Files, double-click the executable, select on Adobe on the Help menu, check the version number in the info box and see that the version number is 10.1.4 (i.e. the old version that I'm upgrading to). However, when I travel to the Reader (AcroRd32.exe) executable in Program Files and and open the properties of the file, I see the version 10.1.5 (i.e. the new version I am upgrading to).

    So the Player version listed in the GUI does not match that specified in the executable box.

    It's the second time that this has happened with a Windows 7 PC. I've never known this kind of thing with a PC running Windows XP.

    Why is the different version number in the GUI? Where the version number read to leave for the GUI? The registry? Anyone can shed some light on this situation?

    Hi Grittyminder,

    Remove some reg entries is not going to give you clean uninstall if you pouvez get a viable product. You can run this to get a better result: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.

    While I don't know what the problem is, it would be interesting to check the version of the product using the MSI API as described in the guide of the administrator to the www.adobe.com/go/acrobatetk.

    In numbers, I can't use then ' / ' operator to divide 2 cell, when I use Shft + 7 does not appear "/", appear ' + '.

    Apple saw fit to replace the ' / ' with the Obelus ("÷") that often resembles a plus.  Look very carefully and you will see the point above and below the line.

    Also if you look at the result, 6/3 is 2 step 8 if the operator acted as the addition operator

  • AppleScript: "equal" does not in "repeat to.

    It is a fundamental question of Apple Script.

    If I use one ' if A = test B' inside of a loop 'repeat for A {...} ". (I want to treat differently the values in the set), "A = B' is always false, even if A is equal to B."  This is not a problem outside the loop, so I 'package A to B' and test.

    This script demonstrates the problem:

    (* This part works *)

    Journal ""using \"set aVar to\": "

    game aVar for 1

    testValue (aVar)

    game aVar for 2

    testValue (aVar)

    (* This part does not work *)

    Journal ""using \"repeat with aVar in\": "

    game aList to {1, 2}

    Repeat with aVar in aList

    testValue (aVar)

    end Repeat

    (* This method is used in the two pieces above *)

    (* It tests the ' if A = B operation' *)

    on testValue (variable)

    If variable is equal to 1 then

    Journal 1

    else If variable is equal to 2 then

    Journal 2

    on the other

    Journal 'nor '.

    end if

    end testValue

    Responses resulting (from the log instructions):

    (* using the 'value aVar': *)

    (*1*)

    (*2*)

    (* using the "repeat with aVar in": *)

    (* or *) <-should be (* 1 *)

    (* or *) <-should be (* 2 *)

    In the loop (second part), the 'testValue' method works differently outside the loop (first part) and incorrectly.  The results of both parties must be the same.

    What Miss me?

    Use the following Manager:

    on testValue (variable)

    If (variable number) is equal to 1 then

    Journal 1

    Otherwise, if (variable number) is equal to 2, then

    Journal 2

    on the other

    log 'none'

  • Modeless window by using the "palette" does not remain upward in CS5

    I have a problem running a modeless dialog box with CS5 (on 64-bit Windows).  My own script does not stay in place and either don't extract of SnpCreateDialog.jsx that comes with the ESTK and is supposed to demonstrate modeless dialog boxes.  I tried:

    1. From the Scripts panel
    2. Add #target photoshop
    3. Be sure that the drop down menu says Photoshop, no CTSK

    as suggested in an older discussion at http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3008230#3008230 .  (I decided to make a new discussion as this one was marked answered.)

    It also does not stay in place when moved to the folder of Photoshop Scripts and run on the file menu in Photoshop.

    The corresponding code in SnpCreateDialog.jsx is:

    function SnpCreateDialog() 
    {
         this.windowRef = null;
    }
    
    /**
     Functional part of this snippet. 
     
     Create a window of type "palette" (a modeless dialog) and display it.
    
     @return True if the snippet ran as expected, false otherwise.
     @type Boolean
    */
    SnpCreateDialog.prototype.run = function()
    {
         // Create a window of type palette.
         var win = new Window("palette", "SnpCreateDialog",[100,100,380,245]);  // bounds = [left, top, right, bottom]
         this.windowRef = win;
         // Add a frame for the contents.
         win.btnPanel = win.add("panel", [25,15,255,130], "SnpCreateDialog");
         // Add the components, two buttons
         win.btnPanel.okBtn = win.btnPanel.add("button", [15,65,105,85], "OK");
         win.btnPanel.cancelBtn = win.btnPanel.add("button", [120, 65, 210, 85], "Cancel");
         // Register event listeners that define the button behavior
         win.btnPanel.okBtn.onClick = function() {
              $.writeln("OK pressed");
              win.close();
         };
         win.btnPanel.cancelBtn.onClick = function() {
              $.writeln("Cancel pressed");
              win.close();
         };
    
         // Display the window
         win.show();
              
         return true;
              
    }
    
    /**
     "main program": construct an anonymous instance and run it
      as long as we are not unit-testing this snippet.
    */
    if(typeof(SnpCreateDialog_unitTest) == "undefined") {
        new SnpCreateDialog().run();
    }
    
    
    

    If I put a breakpoint on the "return true;" line, then I see that the dialog box, in fact, was created and is visible, but he came back to win.show () and will disappear as soon as the script continues.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Kenneth Evans wrote:

    The advantage of a modeless dialog box, is that you can continue to do things in Photoshop while the dialog box is in place.  At least, I suppose, since I don't have to work, including the example ESTK.

    Sorry but no, most of the Photoshop UI is disabled while a script is running even if the script displays a palette window.

    A dialogue window waiting for show() end. This is what makes the modal dialog boxes. A palette window does not expect show() end. He runs the rest of the script.

    In the example you posted the entire script after the window display is return true, then ends. That is why there is no blink the window. If you put a line of $.sleep (1000) before the real return line, that display the windows until sleep wait times then the script will exit and the window will close. That's why with Photoshop palette windows are really only useful progress bars or other type of script status windows.

    Although windows palette can allow the user to intreact with application UI while the window is displayed and does not work with Photoshop. The window shows only while the script runs and Photoshop UI interaction limited a running script.

    I tested windows palette in CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 with the same results. The window shows only while the script is running.

    With Photoshop if you want the user to interact with the user interface you will need to create a Panel.

    Just sent you an updated version... I used the article 6. .your was using [] in a javascript expression. This concept means a JavaScript array notation, so you have to wrap the expression in a xfa.resolveNode ("string that represents the expression")... or pass to formcalc where the [] are allowed.
