[Bibdesk-users] Newbie applescripter--any help appreciated
I'm trying to write a script to change my JSTOR URLs to the proxy version
that works for my school. It should copy the URL from the URL field, change
the URL by a simple string substitution, and paste the result to the
My_Proxy_URL field.
It seems to be working up until somewhere in the replaceChars step. I'm sure
I'm just making some beginner's mistake. Here's my script:
-
tell application BibDesk
set theDoc to document 1
set thePubsSel to the selection of theDoc
repeat with thePub in thePubsSel
set theURL to the value of field URL of thePub
if theURL contains links.jstor.org then
set theURL2 to replaceChars(theURL, links.jstor.org,
0-www.jstor.org.skyline.cudenver.edu)
set My_Proxy_URL to theURL2
end if
end repeat
end tell
Here's the Event Log:
tell application BibDesk
get document 1
document Anthro Bib
get selection of document Anthro Bib
{publication 8 of document Anthro Bib}
get value of field URL of publication 8 of document Anthro Bib
http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1558-8610%281972%2914%3Cii%3ATAOATH%3E2.0.

0-www.jstor.org.skyline.cudenver.edu)
BibDesk got an error: Can't continue replaceChars.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Newbie applescripter--any help appreciated
first, replaceChars needs to be my replaceChars - you have to tell
AppleScript where to find the replaceChars routine (which needs to be
in the same file as the below script).
So the full script (for you) should look like the below, assuming that
you a)want to replace the url field and b)want it to pop up in the
linked URLs as well as in the URL field.
tell application BibDesk
set theDoc to document 1
set thePubsSel to the selection of theDoc
repeat with thePub in thePubsSel
set theURL to the value of field URL of thePub
if theURL contains links.jstor.org then
set theURL2 to replaceChars(theURL, links.jstor.org,
0-
www.jstor.org.skyline.cudenver.edu)
set the value of field url of thePub to theURL2
delete linked URL 1 of thePub
make new linked URL with data theURL2 at end of linked
URLs of thePub
end if
end repeat
end tell
on replaceChars(this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
if this_text contains the search_string then
set oldAStid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
set the item_list to every text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
set this_text to the item_list as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldAStid
end if
return this_text
end replaceChars

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Newbie applescripter--any help appreciated
Thank you very much! I need to keep the old URL, though, since it's the
stable URL that will be listed in my bib. So I deleted that one line.
Works perfectly--thanks.

[Bibdesk-users] Some linked URLs loading incorrectly
I've been having some trouble with URLs in the linked documents pane. The URL is correct, but when I click to go to the URL, it is changed so that the link is broken. Example: There is a URL in the linked documents pane. It is: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1558-8610%281972%2914%3Cii%3ATAOATH%3E2.0.C O%3B2-P (This is the text that displays in the rollover, and also in the field when I load replace URL) This is a correct URL, meaning that if I manually copy and paste it into my browser, the correct page loads. When I click to go to the URL, the URL that loads in the address bar of the browser is: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1558-8610(1972)14%20ii%3ATAOATH%3E2.0.CO%3B 2-P#5152816683755922857 ...and the page is not found.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Recent nightly builds
There have been some significant changes to the previews (indeed, non- singular). The changes should be obvious. Also the internals of the file icon views have changed quite a bit. Keep an eye on performance and possible bugs there, and the build-in downloading functionality.

In the next nightly BibDesk will at least not crash on this, though it may loose the bad link. That may in fact be a way to figure out which one gave problems, if you display a Local File column.

The JSTOR error page gives this message: Technical Error Message: Incorrect Contribution Segment The SICI was 1558-8610(1972)14 ii:TAOATH2.0.CO;2-P I'm running BibDesk Version 1.3.14 (v1008) Thanks, Ingrid Giffin That must be a problem of the browser then. BibDesk just sends the URL it has o the system to open, the rest is out of our hands. Christiaaan Why would it get fouled up when passed from BibDesk, while it works when I paste it manually? Ingrid When cutting and pasting, browsers sometimes try to fix URLs, whereas BibDesk is passing the URL directly. In this case, the incorrect bottom URL substitutes a %20, which is a space, for a %3C, which is a left-angle bracket (). If it's just this one record, I'd re-paste the JSTOR permanent URL and see if that works. -AHM Just checked with my browser (FireFox), and this URL loads OK from me. So BibDesk and the system pass it OK. Therefore it's a bug in your default browser, whatever that is. You could also double-ckeck that by dragging the URL to the Finder and double-click it there. I'd file a bug report with the makers of that browser, if you want to have it fixed. Christiaan I too am using Firefox. However, now, as of this hour, all these problem URLs are working. (After several weeks of not working.) Must be that ol' user list magic. Ingrid - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
