Robert,
Very simple and clear now. I was thinking that token had some magic
etc. to it and of course was over complicating matters. This is very
doable for me and I can see how this would work in a field, variable,
custom prop etc.
Now on to some token rules i.e. naming constructs.
Thanks again,
Tom

Robert,
The idea of using tokens is new to me. The idea seems sound but I
am confused about the syntax. Would you mind giving an example?
My questions are how to extract the token and replace it? can I
use replace, find, etc.
I looked up the token command and this was not clear.
Thanks,
Tom
I wanted to add that if you plan to edit those script on more or
less regular basis, then keeping them in an normally invisible
field is just as good as a property.
With regards to tokens, here is an example of an AppleScript:
tell application [appname] to activate
Let's assume you store it in a property called
myApplescriptBringForward and you want to execute it to make Finder
come forwards
put quote & "Finder" & quote into appname
get the myApplescriptBringForward of this stack
replace "[appname]" with appname in it
do it as applescript
I coded this quite explicitely and hope this makes things clear for
you :)
Note that my using square brackets is not mandatory but they are
convenient delimiters ensuring that the token is a unique string.
Robert
