- This package contains a series of AppleScript additions which add functionality
- to the AppleScript language. Version 1.1 of Script Tools adds the following
- new commands to AppleScript:
-
- Choose Folder This command presents a standard file selection
- dialog which allows the user to select a folder.
-
- Choose New File This command presents a standard file selection
- dialog permitting the user to name a new file.
-
- Choose Several Files This command presents a modified standard file
- selection dialog box allowing the user to choose
- several files at one time.
-
- Choose Several Folders This command is similar to Choose Several Files
- except that it permits the selection of folders
- instead of files.
-
- Get Default Folder
- Set Default Folder These two commands allow your scripts to get and
- set the default folder and volume used in Choose
- File and Folder commands.
-
- Shutdown Shuts down and optionally restarts the Macintosh
-
- Compile Regular Expression
- Match Regular Expression
- Substitute Regular Expression
- These three commands allow you to perform text
- pattern matching operations within AppleScript.
-
- Open File, Close File, Create File, Delete File
- Read File, Write File
- Get File Length, Lengthen File
- Get File Position, Position File
- This series of commands allows your AppleScript
- scripts to manipulate simple text files.
-
- The package also contains some example AppleScript scripts which illustrate
- the use of these new commands. One example named "Backup Folders" shows how
- to use StuffIt Lite to automatically create a backup of a series of folders.
