Hi, ... The problem here is that I'm using the system's AEPrint calls, and somewhere along the way Apple decided to truncate long hex strings (happens with ...
... Thanks, Mark. I've been reading into this. It looks like when Apple "took over" the "AEGizmo" code stuff that they never intended for their version to...
I've figured something out, and wanted to share: SD has a preference setting for "path to me", causing that AppleScript command to refer to the document file...
I've been using a text file containing every jsosa object, method, and property that I am aware of; as an "aid to memory". It doesn't explain what things do,...
I've made an archive of a clippings folder, and put it into my public iDisk thingy: http://homepage.mac.com/admiralnovia/FileSharing1.html It is a work in...

A quick thought: How hard would it be to create special notation for accessing the ._types and ._constants objects? I was thinking of a double underscore...
Hi, ... Okay, I'll look into something like this. Thanks also for the proposed code. I've filed it all in my bug tracking system that that I can integrate it...
... Thanks Mark. I know (assume) that your freeware projects are not at the top of your priorities, which is perfectly OK. The 2.0 version of JSOSA is so...

Hi Folks, I've posted JavaScript 2.0.1 to the JavaScript OSA web site. This version has been available as part of Script Debugger 4 for some time. You can...
I'm running a script via terminal using: osascript -lJavaScript filename.js but I can't seem to be able to output any text to the terminal. Core.message is...
Hi, ... The problem here is the osascript tool. There is a 'log' AppleEvent for this purpose, but osascript does not seem to respond to it. Testing from...
Ah, ok..: var Test = "Hello World"; MacOS.appSelf().do_shell_script("echo " + Test); Seemed to do the trick. Would be nice to just have Core.Write() or ...
