Applescript to Reset Safari and clear LocalStorage

My applescript has an error, and I can't fix it.

Hello, I am new to applescript and need to know how to fix somethings. I cannot seem to fix this:
display dialog "What feature of Bemin's Epic Script would you like to use?" buttons {"Quitter, "Bemin Quiz"}
if the button returned of the result is "Quitter" then
end if
display dialog "Is Chrome on?" buttons {"Yeah!", "No"}
if the button returned of the result is "Yeah!" then

          return
end if
if the button returned of the result is "Bemin Quiz" then

Whenever I compile or run, applescript gives me this error: Expected “,” or “}” but found identifier. then highlights this: (in bold letters)
display dialog "What feature of Bemin's Epic Script would you like to use?" buttons {"Quitter, "Bemin Quiz"}
if the button returned of the result is "Quitter" then
end if
display dialog "Is Chrome on?" buttons {"Yeah!", "No"}

If your wondering about "Bemin", he is just a name I invented.

You forgot a quotation mark after the word Quitter on line one. Should be:
display dialog "What feature of Bemin's Epic Script would you like to use?" buttons {"Quitter", "Bemin Quiz"}

AppleScript to resize images and save with new name

I want to make an apple script, which resizes all images of a folder regardless what kind of filetype.
The source folder will change every day.
With the script i want to choose a source Folder, resize all images and save the files with my jpeg options in the same folder, but with adding „_ipad“ in the filename.
I tried to edit an existing script from this forum, but in Photoshop 5.1 i get the error-message "This function is possibly not available in this Version" in line 18 "save in file newFileName as JPEG with options myOptions"
How can i save the documents with new name in the existing folder?
Thanks.

This seems like a Photoshop error not an AppleScript one. Have you looked in the Photoshop dictionary to see if the command you are getting the error on exists and if it has those options?
If all you want to do is resize image files and save the resized image file you might want to look at Automator. Specifically the Scale Image action under Photos.

Automator or Applescript to Rename Subfolders and Files

I have 200 Gigs of files that need to be moved from a Mac's internal drive onto an external non-mac formatted drive for storage (Buffalo TeraStation). Obviously there is an issue with illegal characters in some of my filenames and folder names. I was able to create a workflow in Automator to replace illegal characters in the Filenamnes and nested filenames with the characters of my choice however it did not work for the Sub Folder names. Does anyone know if this is possible in Automator? If not, is there someone out there who can write a script for such a process?
Thank you in advance.

Scott,
Here is an AppleScript which can be placed in an Automator "Run AppleScript" action to do what you are want.
Click on the link to move the script into Script Editor. Then select all, copy and paste into a "Run AppleScript" action in Automator. Make sure to completely replace all of the text in the action i.e., don't just replace the (* Your script goes here *).
The find and replace characters are found in the properties at the top of the script so they can be adjusted to what you need. I also have a routine that will replace multiple illegal characters with a single legal character if you need that type of flexibility.
This action should be proceeded by an action that will supply an alias such as "Get Specified Finder Items".
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property theIllegalCharacter : "/"
property theReplacementCharacter : "_"
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set theFinderWindow to make new Finder window
set current view of theFinderWindow to column view
set target of theFinderWindow to item 1 of input
set theIllegallyNamedSubFolders to folders of entire contents of target of theFinderWindow whose name contains theIllegalCharacter
set theIllegallyNamedFiles to files of entire contents of target of theFinderWindow whose name contains theIllegalCharacter
repeat with thisFile in theIllegallyNamedFiles
set (name of thisFile) to my RemoveIllegalNamingCharacters(name of thisFile, theIllegalCharacter, theReplacementCharacter)
end repeat
repeat with thisFolder in theIllegallyNamedSubFolders
set (name of thisFolder) to my RemoveIllegalNamingCharacters(name of thisFolder, theIllegalCharacter, theReplacementCharacter)
end repeat
end tell

Applescript in Automator - Loops and Variables

Hi to everyone!
I'm trying to create an Automation with a Loop action in which workflow there is an Applescript Action too. What I need to do and I couldn't find anywhere on the net is how to make a variable increase in 1 each times it makes a loop. I will try to explain it again, in case it's not clear.
First Action
Applescript
N=1
Second Action
Loop
So each time it loops, the N variable increases 1 number. First loop, N=1, second loop N=2, third loop N=3 and so on.
Any ideas.
Thank you!

well, it's easy enough to wrap a one-shot applescript in a repeat loop, but...
the Get Text From Webpage action is not a script - it's a small cocoa plugin for automator. There's no direct way to get webpages from applescript. normally you use applescript to fetch them in Safari and then read the source from there. however, if you want to do it directly you can use the following:
set webpageText to do shell script "curl http://www.weppage.com"
All together it would look something like:
set webList to {"http://www.weppage1.com", "http://www.weppage2.com", "http://www.weppage3.com"}
repeat with thisURL in webList
set webpageText to do shell script "curl " & thisURL
--process webpageText
end repeat

AppleScript that Finds Photos and Copys Created within Week

Hello,
I have three folders where I download photos. Each folder has different types of photos. I'd like to create a new folder that contains the copied most recent photos from my three folders. I was able to do this in workflow, but I'm not sure how to start the AppleScript.
Plus with workflow, it only works when I manually run it. Ideally, I'd like to see the results when I open the recent folder. Someone mentioned a Folder Action, but I can't figure out how to get it to work when the folder is opened.
I feel like i'm missing something fairly simple and i'm too tired to figure it out.
Please help!
Thanks!

I remember a script I wrote back in 2005. I had run a KDX-Server and I wanted a folder that contains aliases of my latest uploads. The way the skripts works is a bit ehm... strange since I was only able to create symbolic links using a shell script together with find, and later on theses symbolic links had to be converted to aliases so that kdx could recognize them...
(Find is pretty fast on searching for the latest files)

Applescript "with administrator privileges" and without Password prompt

i,
I have to configure some phone settings in the central VOIP/VPN/Gateway Router via a ssh (with certificate) command.
There is only a option to allow or disallow the ssh access in the router. Therefor I wrote a applescript to allow only the specific ssh command "set /Setup/Voice-Call-Manager/Call-Router/Call-Routing/". To avoid the configuration access for anyone and to hard code passwords I have to execute this script with root permissions (do shell script "/usr/bin/su - " & user & " -c " & "'" & cmd & "'" with administrator privileges"). In any other unix implementation I can use "chmod 4755; chown 0:0". Even I compiled the Applescript and stored it as Carbon App, I get a user/password prompt.
How can I avoid this prompt or authorize the script/app in any way?
Thanks Henri

I agree, but to use the private key of the applescript caller opens any user the ability to change any WLAN key, VPN settings or delete the admin account, not a good idea....
Therefor I would like to run the applescript with root, "su - <adminuser> ssh router set ....".
This restricts the access to the router config to this applescript and I would like avoid the hard coding of the root password in the applescript.
I tried also the add the command to /etc/sudoers, this work fine from the command line but how to call "sudo applescript" from the desktop without entering the admin password?
Thanks
Henri

Applescript with Mail attachments and shell scripts (pdftk)

I'm trying to create a script that I can call using mail rules that will:
1. save an attached PDF file to a folder (folder name is 'PDFs_from_Mail:')

-- end of script called from mail
after the file is in the folder, i'd like to automatically call a script that splits it in to pages and saves each file. I found pdftk can do what I need. I got the following working, which uses a folder action script to process the file:
-- burst script

   tellapplication "Finder"
       set fold_name tothe name of this_folder

                                                endrepeat
                                    end try
                     endtell
end adding folder items to
-- end burst script
the shell script that is called is in the format:
pdftk myfile.pdf burst
the output parameter basically adds the page number to the end of the original filename for each file that is created
my idea was to attach the folder action script to the 'PDFs_from_Mail' folder, and when the first script is called, the file would be saved to that folder and trigger the folder action script burst the file. it works for individual messages, but when I try using it with the hundreds of messages that I have, all kinds of crazy things happen... the filenames are all wrong and it seems like it goes on infinitely.
My familiarity with applescript is somewhat limited (as you may have guessed) and I'm wondering if there is a better approach. perhaps if I incorporate the shell script into the script called from mail it may streamline everything.
my problem is that I am not sure what code I need to keep in each script.
can anyone take a quick look at this and give me some advice?
my goal is to have these individual pages in a folder so that I can use quick view to page through them. if the pdf is more than one page, then I have to get involved in scrolling up/down and it becomes difficult to find things efficiently.
thanks!

just a quick update and a general questions about applescripting with shell scripts...
i attached the above folder action burst script to a folder, and have been dragging pdf files into it, one at a time.
sometimes the script runs fine and the new files are created and the old pdf is deleted. other times, there is a long delay between when I drop a pdf file into the folder and when the new files are created. and sometimes nothing even happens at all (uaually if i dont wait for at least 30 seconds or so between dropping the files in the folder). I also noticed that the window title text (area showing the folder name at the top of the finder window) becomes grayed out when the script is running and sometimes it remains grayed out for a few minutes after the script has run.
could it be that the shell script just takes a really long time to work? i am afraid to drop more than one file at a time as the last time I tried that the output was all wrong and I had to force quit processes and shut down.

Applescript Help: Backup iCal and save to New Folder on Desktop

Hello,
I have a script one third done. I'm a noobe to Applescript and coding. Hopefully, someone here can help me.
I'm wanting to first backup my iCal data and have it saved to a newly created folder named "xxx" to the Desktop.
1. Create folder on desktop named "xxx"
2. Open iCal and backup iCal data
3. iCal saves to the "xxx" folder
So far I have:
tell application "iCal" to activate
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
tell menu item "Back up iCal…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1 of application process "iCal" to click
delay 1
keystroke "iCal Backup"
keystroke "d" using command down
delay 1
keystroke return
tell application "iCal" to quit
end tell
The above just opens iCal, saves the file to desktop and quits. I want it to save to a folder then quit. Is this possible? Ultimately, I also want to save a backup file of Firefox bookmarks and have that file save to the same "xxx" folder. Any help will be appreciated.

Instead of using the command-d keystroke, use tabs and arrow keys to navigate the save dialog.

Applescript to delete caches and folders in Saved Application State

I don't know if this can be done, but I'd like to write and Applescript to perform these functions:
1) to delete caches from all 3 cache folders and the ~/Library/Saved Application State folder
2) to run at logout, shutdown or startup (any of those is fine)
3) to run with admin credentials already provided
Can this be done?
Thanks.

You're not going to find anything useful in that folder. To clear an application's saved state, launch it while holding down the shift key. I very strongly advise you not to use the shell unless you're sure you know what you're doing.

AppleScript Studio: status bar and panel window

My problem is that the panel won't open, and so I don't see the progress bar.
All I am looking for is the panel to come down, show the progress bar turning, then for the panel to go away when iCal is done adding the event. This is the entire script, but I'm not sure I have everything right in Interface builder. The Documentation for display mentioned clicking panel ended, but then further down it looked like you didn't need it.
I'm confused.

Thanks for the response,
right now the window is in a seperate nib file. I was
trying to follow the applescript studio example
"Display Panel"
Then you need to load it, look at the example, you see panelWIndow is declared as property:
property panelWIndow : missing value
then inside on click handler:
if panelWIndow is equal to missing value then
load nib "statusPanel" -- if your nib is statusPanel.nib
set panelWIndow to window "statusPanel" --> that's AppleScript window name
end if
then you can use:
display panel panelWIndow attached to window "main"
What is the advantage / disadvantage of having more
than one nib file?
Not a whole lot in simple app, because you have to load it to use it.
But in more complex apps, the advantage is that you don't commit run time memory, if the users don't use it.

Applescript: Find a phrase and add text below it

Hello, I am somewhat new to Applescript. I am trying to create a script that will contain dialogs to gather a few pieces of info then use that info to add 1) an item to a text file list and 2) add the input to a script file. Here's what I have:
This is the part of the script that creates a list of choices in a dialog (I'm using an Applescript application):
set Parts to paragraphs of (read POSIX file (theFolder & "Contents/Resources/list.txt"))
repeat with nextLine in Parts
          if length of nextLine is greater than 0 then
                    copy nextLine to the end of listOfParts
          end if
end repeat
set chosen to (choose from list listOfParts with title "Add A Part" with prompt "Select part" without multiple selections allowed) as text
Once it's chosen, I set variables based on the choice:
if chosen is "Limit Thermostat" then
          set theItemNumber to "29329.1000"
          set itemDescription to "Limit thermostat "
          set theWarehouse to "parts"
          set theLocation to "a8d1a"
end if
Then there's a short script below this section which adds the selected part to my accounting application.
This works perfectly. Now, let's say I have a new part to add to my list and need to create the section above in my script. How can I add the text to the script file below the last section of "if chosen..." but before the rest of the script using an Applescript?

Hello, I am somewhat new to Applescript. I am trying to create a script that will contain dialogs to gather a few pieces of info then use that info to add 1) an item to a text file list and 2) add the input to a script file. Here's what I have:
This is the part of the script that creates a list of choices in a dialog (I'm using an Applescript application):
set Parts to paragraphs of (read POSIX file (theFolder & "Contents/Resources/list.txt"))
repeat with nextLine in Parts
          if length of nextLine is greater than 0 then
                    copy nextLine to the end of listOfParts
          end if
end repeat
set chosen to (choose from list listOfParts with title "Add A Part" with prompt "Select part" without multiple selections allowed) as text
Once it's chosen, I set variables based on the choice:
if chosen is "Limit Thermostat" then
          set theItemNumber to "29329.1000"
          set itemDescription to "Limit thermostat "
          set theWarehouse to "parts"
          set theLocation to "a8d1a"
end if

Using applescript/automator to import and categorise multiple .txt files

Hello all,
I wonder is anyone can offer me some advice on the best approach to importing multiple text files into excel. I've searched excel specific forums, but it seems that the macro's that work on windows wont work on my mac.
Basically, I am trying to find a way of importing multiple comma delimanted text files into an excel workbook. If it is possible, it would also be great to automatically compute the data into summarised variables (e.g., the data is multiple reaction time trials [220 to be precise] and I would like to create cells within excel with the mean scores from groups of the trials [A1 to A20, A21 to A40, A41 to A80 etc.]) within a seperate sheet (at present I am importing the text files one by one, performing the calculations, before copying and paste special into a summary sheet).
I have put an example of the file in dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/s/9y6valpkzsq8kgz/Example%20workbook.xlsx) to give anyone who is willing to help a better idea of what I mean.
Thanks in advance.
John

Danitaz,
Did you ever figure out the problem with your mail that was going out from the wrong server (2 yrs. ago)? I have the same problem from my MacBook Pro, using Mac Mail. I try to send email from my work account and then find to my surprise and dismay that I get an autoreply in my personal gmail account from the person I wrote to. I look in the Sent mail for my work account and it looks like the message went from there but I can see in the reply that it instead went from my gmail account! I tried checking the box in my work account that says "send only from this SMTP server" but that didn't fix the problem. The only way seems to be turning off the gmail in order to send with certainty from my work account. If you have any suggestions I would love to try them. Thanks!
PS Sorry to write off topic here. I wanted to reply to the original posting but I guess since it is so old I couldn't do so.
