hi,
after some tries i’m stuck with the correct syntax of my script. It should work, but it does not. Some clue?
on run {input, parameters}
--example
set {lfpt, ch} to {(path to scripts folder) & "workflows:", "Watermark.workflow"}
--
set my_wkfl to quoted form of POSIX path of (lfpt & ch as text)
set param_ls to build_ls(parameters)
set cmd to "automator -i - " & param_ls & space & my_wkfl
--activate me
--display dialog cmd
return do shell script cmd
end run
to build_ls(get_param)
set {tid, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, linefeed}
set input_ls to get_param as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tid
return param_ls
end build_ls
the variable in the last line of the handler (param_ls) is not defined.
by the way: there is also a “shortcut” for the workflow folder
set {workflowsFolder, workflowName} to {(path to workflows folder as text), "Watermark.workflow"}
--
set myWorkflow to quoted form of (POSIX path of workflowsFolder & workflowName)
no offense, but the times of limited 8-letter variable names are definitely gone
Hi, Ste
i pasted only a piece of my script. Not to make a secret, but because i need to spot only a particular part of my script. However, thanks for your tips.
sorry, but param_ls is defined with:
to build_ls(get_param), continuing in the respective handler.
my trouble lies in the right compilation of the automator-shell-command. Everything runs fine, till the script arrives to execute the shell.
ps. i understand if you dislike my variables, but i write a lot of scripts. I was yet shorter with variable nomenclature time ago.
ok,
you’re right, i corrected my handler so that it returns param_ls.
on build_ls(get_param)
set {tid, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, linefeed}
set param_ls to get_param as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tid
return param_ls
end build_ls
and using my instead of ‘to’ to call the handler.
But still no results. I tested it also in the script editor, and exits with:
error -255. The picture file i want to process isn’t identified as such.
