Hi John,
I can't get your suggestion to work with mdfind:

with-process-reader
- Trying this command format (with a different MD Attribute) works fine in
the terminal:
➜ ~ git:(master) ✗ mdfind "kMDItemComposer == 'Dylan'"
/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/11 Wedding
Song.m4a
/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/10 Never Say
Goodbye.m4a
/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/09 You Angel
You.m4a
/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/08 Dirge.m4a
...
➜ ~ git:(master) ✗
- But trying the same command in the with-process-reader format fails in
the listener:
IN: scratchpad { mdfind "kMDItemComposer == 'Dylan'" } utf8 [ lines ]
with-process-reader
Process exited with error code 254
Launch descriptor:
T{ process
{ command { mdfind "kMDItemComposer == 'Dylan'" } }
{ environment H{ } }
{ environment-mode +append-environment+ }
{ stdout T{ fd { disposed t } { fd 23 } } }
{ group +same-group+ }
{ status 254 }
{ pipe
T{ pipe
{ in T{ fd { disposed t } { fd 19 } } }
{ out T{ fd { disposed t } { fd 23 } } }
}
}
}
---------------
-Switching single & double quotes around doesn't help:
IN: scratchpad { mdfind 'kMDItemComposer == "Dylan"' } utf8 [ lines ]
with-process-reader
Error
No word named “'kMDItemComposer” found in current vocabulary search path
(however, mdfind 'kMDItemComposer == "Dylan"' works in terminal)
---------------
-Ok, so trying various permutations of single, double, triple quotes in the
command:
IN: scratchpad { """mdfind "kMDItemComposer == 'Dylan'"""" } utf8 [ lines ]
with-process-reader
Process exited with error code 255
(however, mdfind "kMDItemComposer == 'Dylan'" works in terminal)
---------------
IN: scratchpad { """mdfind 'kMDItemComposer == "Dylan"'""" } utf8 [ lines ]
with-process-reader
Process exited with error code 255
(however, mdfind 'kMDItemComposer == "Dylan"' works in terminal)
---------------
IN: scratchpad { "mdfind" """'kMDItemComposer == "Dylan"'""" } utf8 [ lines
] with-process-reader
Process exited with error code 1
(again, mdfind 'kMDItemComposer == "Dylan"' works in terminal)
---------------
-Using the code from the spotlight.factor vocab works like the terminal
example above:
IN: scratchpad "Dylan" by-Composer mdfind .
{
"/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/11
Wedding Song.m4a"
"/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/10
Never Say Goodbye.m4a"
"/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/09 You
Angel You.m4a"
"/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/08
Dirge.m4a"
"/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/07
Forever Young (Continued).m4a"
"/Applications/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Bob Dylan/Planet Waves/06
Forever Young.m4a"
...
}
I'm probably missing something simple, but I haven't found a way to get
mdfind to work in
a process command, and reading the output stream-lines.
Hence, my relief at getting "a shell script and a query results" approach
to work without blowing up.
I agree, it would be much more elegant to craft a solution in the form of
your suggestion.
If anyone can cook one up, that would really be sweet! I just want to
access the Spotlight
MetaData Index from Factor in the simplest possible way. Meanwhile, I'll
exercise spotlight;
baroque as it is, it gets me to the MetaData, and does find things.
Thanks,
Charles
