Hi,
Just getting into Applescripting and need a little help.
I am trying to write a simple script that copies from one filed and past to another then moves on to the next clip and repeats. I am trying to get it to repeat until it reaches the end where it would in a sense copy the same thing twice.
I am trying to have it cycle twice then compare the clipboard if it is the same thing then stop. For some reason I can’t get it to work properly.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks a ton.
set textCopy to 1
try
tell application "" to activate
delay 0.5
tell application "System Events" to tell process ""
repeat
keystroke "c" using {command down}
set selecTxt to the clipboard as text
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke "v" using {command down}
keystroke return
key code (124) using {command down, control down}
delay 0.1
keystroke tab
keystroke "c" using {command down}
set selecTxt to the clipboard as text
if (the clipboard) is equal to selecTxt then
set textCopy to textCopy - 1
if textCopy is equal to 0 then
return
end if
else
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke "v" using {command down}
keystroke return
key code (124) using {command down, control down}
delay 0.1
keystroke tab
end if
end repeat
end tell
end try
