After a little bit of experimenting, I think I've narrowed down the problem
down significantly. More specifically, I've now checked that the following DO
WORK:
1) Running an ApplesScript script like the following directly from Script
Editor:
set theFile to POSIX file "/Users/artemio/Desktop/Apuntes/MC.pdf"
set theSource to POSIX file "/Users/artemio/Desktop/Apuntes/chap2.tex"
tell application "Skim"
activate
open theFile
tell front document to go to TeX line 100 from theSource
end tell
2) Running the following equivalent shell script from the Terminal:
/usr/bin/osascript \
-e 'set theFile to POSIX file "/Users/artemio/Desktop/Apuntes/MC.pdf"' \
-e 'set theSource to POSIX file "/Users/artemio/Desktop/Apuntes/chap2.tex"' \
-e 'tell application "Skim"' \
-e 'activate' \
-e 'open theFile' \
-e 'tell front document to go to TeX line 1000 from theSource' \
-e 'end tell'
Therefore, it seems to me that displayline fails when the arguments are passed
to bin/echo as null-separated strings. Indeed, the error after running a
command like " .../displayline line 100 foo.pdf foo.tex" at the Terminal is
102:160: execution error: Can’t get item 1 of {}. (-1728)
which seems to indicate that theArgv is empty. Is there any reasonable way to
fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Artemio
