A list of AppleScript commands

Hello,

I used to have a book on how to write AppleScript scripts. But it seems that I lost after a personal tragedy that happened almost 4 years ago. Anyway, I’m trying to learn how to use it under OS X again. At the moment, I want to incorporate ‘Find’ to search key words under TextEdit into AppleScript’s ScriptEdit. Could somebody suggest me a site or more where there’s a list of AppleScript’s usable commands and explanations, please? Although I intend to buy a new book when the sun rises, I want to know if there are such sites on the Internet.

Thanks a lot

Start here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/index.html

It is written by Apple, so it is a bit verbose and techno-geek oriented, but it is probably the best start for free stuff for now.

Be sure to also peruse our links page:

http://macscripter.net/links/

And our Books/Resources page:

http://macscripter.net/books/

Both of these are great starting places for searching the web, as well as our own site. You will find all the current AppleScript dictionaries here:

http://macscripter.net/app_dictionaries/

although they are pretty much what you already have on your system, just in a PDF form suitable for printing.

Basically, you should be able to spend a couple of sleepless nights here at MacScripter and discover all sort of useful scripting information, scripting links, and a host of people ready to help out at any time.

Good Luck

CAS

Thank you.
