Script support (AppleScript, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, etc...)

Hello,
I frequently use Script feature with Audition 3.
I want to revive the script feature!
But, I don't like the syntax of past Audition script feature.
I want to more popular script language support in Audition!
BTW, I like Ruby language :-)
Thanks,
Hiroyuki

I would obviously vote for Windows Scripting Host, since it gives you access to the .NET CLR, but there's the small caveat of OS lock-in...
Either way, the ability to do disk operations, write your own GUI, even include network access and third-party API:s like Perforce has proven a godsend when scripting for Vegas. Whenever Vegas doesn't supply me with the tools I need, I can very often write them myself.

Number doesn't support applescript!?!

I was sincerely hoping that numbers supported embedded applescript or at least applescript triggers (from checkboxes, buttons, etc). Internal Applescript support was the critical requirement to use it, and replace excel.
I was blown away that is doesn't even support applescript at all!!! Apple not even supporting their own scripting technologies?
Bizarre.

Can someone please help us with this? We don't know if this is a Win2K file system issue, Tomcat, or our EDK install ...
I'm hoping someone has run across this before and can help.
Thank you,

Can I extend the scripting support through the SDK?

I need to create an automated process of saving different layers from documents as different file formats. Unfortunately there is no scripting support for exporting to EMF-format, which I need to do. I glanced on the possibility of calling a self-defined action from my script, but I need to automatically set the output folder and name of the exported files which apparently isn't possible.
In my frustration I've started to think about a more "advanced" solution, which is: Can I somehow extend Illustrator's scripting support, to be able to export files as EMF? I can't even find how to export files to EMF in the SDK documentation, so I feel a bit lost.
Has someone done something like this? Or even more desirable, does someone have a better solution to this?
Thanks!
Johannes

Dear Johannes,
If I had no experience with the SDK, and I only needed a solution as described, I would certainly prefer a scripting solution.
In that case, I would recommend saving the file to a fixed path and file name with an action or script.
Then a script could move/rename the file to where you would like it saved. As long as it was being moved to the same drive, the difference in performance would be imperceptible.
You didn't mention what scripting environment you are using, however, this would be trivial with AppleScript and most likely any scripting language you might be using. If you are using AppleScript, I could provide a one line example on how to move files...
Hope this helps.
Best.

How do I download apple script support

How do I get Apple Script Support Download for ITUNES on windows 7

AppleScript is a Mac OS X technlogy only. You cannot get AppleScript support on a Windows system. Depending on what it is you wish to accomplish, though, there may be other ways. See:

Countdown Script Support?

Hi,
I've managed to put together a script with google support -
that displays the time till an event... the problem is that when
displaying the page, it does not update the time... in other words
it does not automatically reresh to update the time - unless I
refresh the page (note: time counts down in min not sec).. I really
like this code and don't want to use another, what I'd liek is some
support to get it ticking - I believe I need to incorporate
setTimeout... but I am not advanced enough to figure out what java
code needs adding here ...
here is the code so far.
<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
today = new Date();
BigDay = new Date("October 28, 2006")
msPerDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ;
timeLeft = (BigDay.getTime() - today.getTime());
e_daysLeft = timeLeft / msPerDay;
daysLeft = Math.floor(e_daysLeft);
e_hrsLeft = (e_daysLeft - daysLeft)*24;
hrsLeft = Math.floor(e_hrsLeft);
minsLeft = Math.floor((e_hrsLeft - hrsLeft)*60);
document.write("   " + daysLeft + "
  :   " + hrsLeft +"
  :   " + minsLeft +
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html>
Also, you may notice I'm using & to create the
correct spacing between the countdown digits - this looks like a
cheap way around - am I doing that right?
Many thanks!

You might look at some of the Javascript scripts at
http://javascript.internet.com/time-date/.
There may not be the exact one you need, but there will be working
examples of the techniques you need.

How to do multiple shell scripts in AppleScript

I got some solutions from previous posts on how to run sudo in Applescript, but there is still some minor syntax issues when I try to get to the destination directory. Usually in shell script I just type
cd directory-destination
in several lines to batch process those commands, but when I work with applescript, if I do do shell script for every "cd" command, instead of getting an overall result, I would get intermediate results individually.
I read doc and learned that there might be a way to put commands together by using the & sign?
Message was edited by: ttback

An individual do shell script command runs in its own shell, so to perform multiple commands within that shell you need to combine them into a single statement. You can use the ampersand '&' operator to concatenate text strings, and the semicolon ';' to separate the commands, for example:set theFolder to "/Applications"
do shell script "cd " & theFolder & "; ls -l ."See the technical note do shell script in AppleScript.

HT2488 How do I create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScripts to download an excel file from a specific webpage?

I would like to create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScript (or a combination of the two), that opens Safari to a specified page and downloads an excel file from this page and saves the downloaded document to my desktop.
Is this something that be done? If so, how?
I have so far been able to build a workflow in Automator to open Safari and added an AppleScript that takes Safari to a specific page that has an Excel document.
I can't figure out where to go from here... Any help would be apprecitated.
Thanks!

Would you have the web address the excel sheet is on?
Is there a simular web page you could point to if not?
Would there be a copy of the file on an FTP page. This would be easier.

the curl is a terminal command ( Unix ). It allows you to read a file off of the web.
man curl

press the space bar to advance a page.
press letter to q to quit.
What you may have to is to read in the web page as a text file. Go "fishing" through the page to find the excel file you need. Once you find the file, you can use curl to read the file.
curl is a very full featured command. (read complex to figure out ).
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix
    on error errMsg
        log "ls -l error..." & errMsg

Outlook 2010 cannot provide form scripting support

I have followed two workarounds and fixes for Office 2010 in a terminal services environment. One was to copy a .dll file to the terminal server and the other was to remove a registry entry. Both workarounds fixed the problem temporarily,
but it continues to show up. When a user opens some email messages they receive a warning that "Microsoft Outlook cannot provide form scripting support. This feature is not available. For more information, contact your system administrator."A+, MCP, MCSA, MCSE, Security+

Here is what I did to enable VB scripting for Outlook 2010.
1.
Determine the GUID for Office 2010.
In the Registry, go to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features. Search for
“OutlookVBScript”. I found it at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features\00004109110000000000000000F01FEC.
In the Registry, for an x86 server go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products,
or for an x64 server, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\InstalledPackages (the first one)
and select the key where you located “OutlookVBScript”.
On my server, it is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\00004109110000000000000000F01FEC
When I select it, this is what I see:
DisplayName “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010”
InstallSource, ModifyPath and UninstallSring all show the Office 2010 GUID as
{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
2.
Install VBScripting for Outlook.
My commands to install VBscripting for Outlook are therefore:
change user /install
msiexec /i {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} ADDLOCAL=OutlookVBScript /qb
change user /execute
Note: After installing VBscripting for Outlook, “OutlookVBScript”at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features\00004109110000000000000000F01FEC changed its value from “OUTLOOKFiles”
(where the box glyph at the beginning appears to be a minus or dash in the Registry editor) to “OUTLOOKFiles”.

Can we execute a Powershell script from the Javascript?

Hi,
I have a certain requirement to add a Custom ribbon button in document library and there was a powershell script to be run for the selected item in the library.
I have struck with executing a Powershell script from the javascript function.
Can anyone please suggest me if this was achievable
Thanks, Swaroop Vuppala

Hi Swaroop,
To execute server side code in a custom ribbon button script, using application page is a common way to do this, besides, you can also use a page dialog, which is similar with application page but display as model dialog, another way is javascript
_dopostback and delegate control, the following article contains detailed information about this, please refer to it for more information:

Lightroom 2.1 and the CS3 Scripting Support 10.0.1 update

In my continuing efforts to get a simulation of a working system I updated to LR 2.1 and carried out various suggested methods of updating Photoshop CS3 to properly reflect the effects of the 10.0.1 upgrade.
In case it helps development the situation now on my Win XP SP3 is that:
If I open LR before PS CS3, then CS3 reports Sripting Support version 10.0 and the LR "Open in CS3" does not work properly in the way reported before by many people.
If I Open PS CS3 and then open LR, then CS3 reports Scripting Support Verson 10.0.1 and LR "Open in CS3" does work correctly.

Does Firefox 4 support remote Javascript debugger?

I have used ChromeDevTools Eclipse plugin and V8 debugger protocol for remote Javascript debugging with Chrome browser.
Does Firefox 4 support remote Javascript debugger?
If then, is there a client tool like ChromeDevTools plugin?
Thanks in advance.

Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1.

Change font type through scripting support.

Please help me for this scripting support. . I have 100 of PSD with text. Text is brush script. I need to change font as some other font through scripting.

With the Mail App you cannot change the font.

I created an email script in AppleScript, but it is not working.(Read below as well)

I created an email script in AppleScript.
Here is the code:
set recipentNamePrompt to display dialog "What is the name of the recipient?" default answer "Cookie Monster"
set recipientAddressPrompt to display dialog "What is the email of the recipient?" default answer "[email protected]"
set subjectPrompt to display dialog "What is the subject of the email?" default answer "Change Cookie Recipe"
set contentPrompt to display dialog "What would you like to put in your message?" default answer "Cookie Monster want MORE chocolate chips in cookies!"
set recipientName to recipentNamePrompt
set recipientAddress to recipientAddressPrompt
set theSubject to subjectPrompt
set theContent to contentPrompt
--Mail Tell Block
tell application "Mail"
--Create the message
          set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theContent, visible:true}
--Set a recipient
          tell theMessage
make new to recipient with properties {name:recipientName, address:recipientAddress}
--Send the Message
send
          end tell
end tell
But when I type in my info, the created message is written in Chinese. Someone please help me!

The result of a display dialog is a record that contains the properties button returned, text returned (if default answer is used), and gave up (if giving up after is used). Since you are passing the entire record to the Mail fields, it looks like it is getting interpreted as some Unicode text. The solution is to get rid of your intermediate prompt variables and just get the desired property (the text returned), for example:
set recipientName to text returned of (display dialog "What is the name of the recipient?" default answer "Cookie Monster")
set recipientAddress to text returned of (display dialog "What is the email of the recipient?" default answer "[email protected]")
set theSubject to text returned of (display dialog "What is the subject of the email?" default answer "Change Cookie Recipe")
set theContent to text returned of (display dialog "What would you like to put in your message?" default answer "Cookie Monster want MORE chocolate chips in cookies!")
