Folks;
I'm trying to get a string value back from a simple AppleScript in
Cocoa:
NSDictionary *errorDict= nil;
NSAppleScript *appleScriptObject = [[NSAppleScript alloc]
initWithSource:theScript];
NSAppleEventDescriptor *eventDescriptor = [appleScriptObject
executeAndReturnError: &errorDict];
[appleScriptObject release];
if (([eventDescriptor descriptorType]) && (errorDict==nil)) {
return [self stringFromAppleEventDescriptor:eventDescriptor]; //my
own method that checks descriptorType and returns stringValue
} else {
NSLog(@"%@",[errorDict objectForKey:@"NSAppleScriptErrorMessage"]);
return nil;
}
The 'theScript' is a valid script that executes flawlessly in 'Script
Editor':
tell application "Finder"
try
comment of file ("/Users/steve/...." as POSIX file)
on error
return "Error"
end try
end tell
The problem is that the above errors out @ [appleScriptObject
executeAndReturnError: &errorDict];
The stack is shown below.
What am I overlooking here?
Steve
