Using applescript to unzip a file

I have a zip file in the same folder as a applescript application. I just want to unzip it into the same folder and then delete the zip file but have no skills with applescript (this is actually for a Filemaker project) This is what I have so far. Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!
tell application "Finder"
set path_2 to quoted form of POSIX path of (folder of (path to me) as alias)
end tell
tell application "System Events"
do shell script "unzip -u\"/path_2/*.zip \" -d /path_2"
end tell

You're pretty close. What you're missing is the right way to combine static text with variables when you construct your shell command:
tell application "Finder"
set path_2 to quoted form of POSIX path of (folder of (path to me) as alias)
end tell
do shell script "unzip -u " & path_2 & "nameof.zip & " -d " & path_2
Note the use of & to concatenate static strings (such as "unzip -u ") along with variables (such as path_2). Just make sure you get the spaces in the right place.

How can I use Applescript to copy a file's icon to the clipboard?

Hello,
How can I use Applescript to copy a file's icon to the clipboard?
Thanks.
Lennox

there is no way to do that that I know of. but you can extract an icon of a file to another file using command line tool [osxutils|http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxutils]. you can then call the relevant command from apple script using "do shell script".

Problem using payloadZipBean to unzip a file

I would like to run OS command to zip large amount of xml into one zip file before XI pick it up, then use unzip option in payloadZipBean to unzip all the xml files so XI can process them one by one from memory, this will reduce lots file I/O time.
But I am getting this warning message:
Warning Zip: message is empty or has no payload
But if I display this message in RWB, the only payload is this zip file.
Why the payloadZipBean is not unzipping this file as supposed to.

Did you check this blog

Using AppleScript/Automator to get file path and create AFP hyperlink

Hi All,
A colleague has asked for a service (contextual menu item in Finder) to get a selected item's remote (afp://) file path and copy it to the clipboard... Pretty sure I've got that part down.
What I need advice on is how to make the resulting pasted file path into a serviceable hyperlink. AFP keeps telling me there was an error connection to the server.... Does the copied path have to include mounting commands and user credentials for this to work??
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Richard - here's the script:
tell application "Finder"
          set sel to the selection as text
          set TempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space
          set sel to text items of sel
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "%20"
          set sel to sel as string
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
set the clipboard to "file://" & POSIX path of sel
end tell

Using Applescript to identify a file with no extension?

Sometimes clients submit a file that has no extension and just shows up as a "document" is there any way to probe into it and get it's file type or creator or anything?
Getting the properties of it returns these...
file type: missing
Kind: document

if it is only a file here and there best is to use the command "file" on the CLI (Terminal)
Usage: file filename
file give you the filetype by matching the "magic number" in the fileheader
For more info use "man file" on Terminal

I've written a replacement zip file creator class. Not much tested but it seems to work, however I've yet to try it with the version of WINZIP that rejected my previous attempts. Oh, and the stored dates are garbage.

Using AppleScript to find specific text in mail message?

I'm new to scripting, and I'm a bit lost on this one...
Is there any way to use AppleScript to find a file name from within the body of a mail message so it can be used later in the script?
Specifically, I want to use AppleScript to "read" the content of a mail message and look for a paragraph that says "Filename: MyFileName" so I can set "MyFileName" as a variable. (There will always be a paragraph that begins with "Filename: " in this particular email message.)
This will part of a larger script that uses Fetch to download "MyFileName" from our FTP server.
Thanks in advance for any ideas - I'm struggling with this one.
Andy Gill

Ok, red_menace above me had a shorter and more elegant solution to the question, I'm adding this just for another example.
To solve your problem I'd make a mail rule that looked for any messages with "Filename:" in them (along with whatever criteria you wanted, like sender, domain, etc). The mail rule would execute the Applescript. My assumption is that the "Filename:foobar" text could be anywhere in the email, not necessarily the first thing in a paragraph, so I had to parse it differently.
The results end up in a datalist, (theFilename {} ) that you can parse later to collect all filenames found in whatever messages were processed.
I realize this could be cleaner, hope it's not hard to follow, but I did it really fast. It works flawlessly for me, picking out the name of the file no matter where in the email it appears.
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theSelectedMessages for rule theRule
repeat with aCounter from 1 to count theSelectedMessages
set theMessage to item aCounter of theSelectedMessages
set theContent to content of theMessage
set theWords to every word of theContent
set theFilename to {}
set tid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
repeat with thisLoop in theWords
try
if (text item 1 of thisLoop) is "Filename" then
set end of theFilename to (text item 2 of thisLoop)
-- rest of your logic goes here the display is just to show it finds the filename, take it out!
display dialog theFilename ¬
buttons {"OK"}
end if
end try
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tid
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

New to applescript. need to create a plist file using applescript

Needed some help I need on creatinga plist file below using applescript and I can't make it happen needed some hand on this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Username</key>
<string>${localAdminUser}</string>
<key>Password</key>
<string>${localAdminPassword}</string>
<key>AdditionalUsers</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Username</key>
<string>${userName}</string>
<key>Password</key>
<string>${userPassword}</string>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
I have tis code but it doesn't seems to work.
tell application "System Events"
-- create an empty property list dictionary item
 set the parent_dictionary to make new property list item with properties {kind:record}
-- create new property list file using the empty dictionary list item as contents
 set the plistfile_path to "~/Desktop/example.plist"
 set this_plistfile to ¬
make new property list file with properties {contents:parent_dictionary, name:plistfile_path}
-- add new property list items of each of the supported types
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
 with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
 with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
 with properties {kind:list, name:"AdditionalUsers"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
 with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
make new property list item at end of property list items of contents of this_plistfile ¬
 with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
end tell
The result of the above code will generate a plist file below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

 <array/>
 <key>Password</key>
 <string>${localAdminPassword}</string>
 <key>Username</key>
 <string>${localAdminUser}</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Hello
You need to create elements at correct container. Like this.
set plist_file to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "example.plist"
--set plist_file to "~/desktop/example.plist"
tell application "System Events"
 tell (make new property list file with properties {name:plist_file})
 make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
 make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
 tell (make new property list item at end with properties {kind:list, name:"AdditionalUsers"})
 tell (make new property list item at end with properties {kind:record})
 make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Username", value:"${localAdminUser}"}
 make new property list item at end with properties {kind:string, name:"Password", value:"${localAdminPassword}"}
 end tell
 end tell
 end tell
end tell
Or you may create a record in AppleScript and set the value of plist file at once. Like this.
set plist_file to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "example.plist"
--set plist_file to "~/desktop/example.plist"
set dict to ¬
 {|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}"} & ¬
 {|AdditionalUsers|:{¬
 {|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}"} ¬
--set dict to {|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}", |AdditionalUsers|:{{|Username|:"${localAdminUser}", |Password|:"${localAdminPassword}"}}}
tell application "System Events"
 tell (make new property list file with properties {name:plist_file})
 set value to dict
 end tell
end tell

Unzip GZ files using Powershell

I have Windows 2008 Server with some GZ type files in a folder. I would like to script unzipping them using Powershell, can someone tell me if this is possible and how I would do it?
The folder is d:\data_files\ and I'd like to uncompress all the .gz files in there
I've searched around on the Net but can't find much that deals with GZ files specifically. The files are all named data-1.gz, data-2.gz etc
Hello

The folder is d:\data_files\ and I'd like to uncompress all the .gz files in there
I've searched around on the Net but can't find much that deals with GZ files specifically.

I also found that .Net 2.0 and above has native code for dealing with gzip files.
Function DeGZip-File{
Param(
$infile,
$outfile = ($infile -replace '\.gz$','')
$input = New-Object System.IO.FileStream $inFile, ([IO.FileMode]::Open), ([IO.FileAccess]::Read), ([IO.FileShare]::Read)
$output = New-Object System.IO.FileStream $outFile, ([IO.FileMode]::Create), ([IO.FileAccess]::Write), ([IO.FileShare]::None)
$gzipStream = New-Object System.IO.Compression.GzipStream $input, ([IO.Compression.CompressionMode]::Decompress)
$buffer = New-Object byte[](1024)
while($true){
$read = $gzipstream.Read($buffer, 0, 1024)
if ($read -le 0){break}
$output.Write($buffer, 0, $read)
$gzipStream.Close()
$output.Close()
$input.Close()
$infile='C:\Temp\DECfpc1new.csv.gz'
$outfile='c:\temp\DECfpc1new.csv'
DeGZip-File $infile $outfile
You can supply the function with the full path of the file to be unzipped, and the full path of the unzipped file.
If you don't supply the unzipped file path, the function will unzip the file into the same folder as the source, and remove the .gz extension.

Zip Exception Problem using jeode to unzip file

Hi,
I am using a JAva application, that has a client running on the IPAQ-Jeode JVM and the server is on JDK 1.3.
The application is using RMI to communicate between the Server and the PDA. The application code is running on JDK 1.3. Once the RMI communication is established, the server (during deployment) creates a ZIP file The zip file is serialized to the client machine (in this case, the Ipaq). The Client code later, running on Jeode, tries to unzip this file and extract the files.
We observed that the files created by the server (on JDK 1.3) cannot be unzipped by the Jeode JVM and gives an Zip Exception. The same zip file can be successfully uncompressed by machines having Sun's J2SE versions JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.1.8(which is compatible with PJava).

Use applescript w/automator to change files permissions

Hi, I need to change permission to several files to Read and Write to the Owner, Staff and everyone. I do this everyday, that's why I need someway to automate this action. I don't know about scripting but I do know (more or less) how to create a service in Automator. I am looking to create a service in automator which runs an applescript that changes this file's permissions. I need this to be applied to all sub folders and subfiles. Any clue what the applescript should say? Thnx

Perfect! It worked perfectly even though I didn't understood the difference between the first shell script and the other. I've tried both, and they both did the same thing: They changed the Owner, the Staff and Everyone to Read and write.
For my tests, this is what I did (for the sake of all the non geeky guys like me who needs this):
I opened Automator and choose to make a Service, and set it to Files and Folders in Finder.
Then I added the finder action "Get selected finder items".
Then added "Run shell script" and did what you told me, and that's it!
Thanx for your time

Using applescript to get iCal to open a file

I'm trying to use AppleScript to get iCal to open a Word doc at a specified date/time.
As a complete novice to AppleScript, I'm sure I have misunderstood how the syntax and grammar of the language work. Would you please advise me how to change this script --
set filepath to POSIX path of "Microsoft Word:Users:mtmanner:Documents:Family JY & Friends:Craig:Craigs Goals:Socializing:Being with people.doc"
try
set command to "open Users/mtmanner/Documents/Family JY & Friends:Craig/Craigs Goals/Socializing/Being with people.doc"
do shell script command
end try
Thanks for your help.

There is a useful book called 'AppleScript for Dummies'. Don't be put of by the irritating title: it's actually quite sensibly written and informative (just ignore the occasional facetiousness designed not to frighten nervous readers off). When I was looking for a manual the other books available were much more expensive; I've found this one covers most requirements.
We had three weeks of heatwave: not it's gone unsettled again with rain (which we needed) and temperatures up and down loke the proverbial yo-yo - typical British summer, in other words.
