calling variable from app to open in another app...

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi

I’m trying to get the value (a path to file) stored in Quickeys app (no error when compiling)
…and open it with Firefox (error when compiling)

I can’t get the right syntax for opening in FF

--set parameters
tell application "QuicKeys"
	activate
	get value of variable "varOpenHtml"
	set x to {value of variable ("varOpenHtml")}
end tell

--open text file
tell application "Firefox" to open file {value of variable("x")}

Any help?

Thanks

Philippe

Solved !
Simply found he menu item “preview in” in BBEdit.

Plus: I’ve read the “note for noobies” and I’m quite OK with that… but it’s very hard for a very newbie not to be lost with syntax. I’ll use Applescript maybe 10 times a year and learning and remembering all the language is not easy.
… but following your advice and searching with your tools in the database allowed me to write successfully a new script !

Thanks for all

Philippe
