my script opens a csv-file (;-separated) in Numbers 09, and transfers the complete content via the clipboard to a particular table inside a second table. Before inserting I want to delete the content inside the “target”-table.
This wont work, I always get an error:
class cannot changed to type reference
Without the line “clear range range …” the script runs fine.
I have no idea how I can solve the problem. Hope you can help me, thanks in advance!

This is my script:

set importFile to ((path to desktop) & "export.csv" as string) as alias
set evalFile to ((path to desktop) & "evaluation.numbers" as string) as alias
tell application "Finder"
--change file extension for the csv to "numbers" because Numbers gives a *.csv *.numbers as filename
set importFileName to (text 1 thru (offset of "." in (get name of (info for importFile))) of (get name of (info for importFile))) & "numbers"
set evalFileName to (get name of (info for evalFile))
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
--open both files, copy all from the csv-file, close the csv-file
open evalFile
open importFile
set myActiveTable to the first table of sheet 1 of document importFileName
tell myActiveTable
set the rangeStart to the name of cell 1 of column 1
set the rangeEnd to the name of last cell of last column
set selection range to range (rangeStart & ":" & rangeEnd)
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using {command down}
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
close document importFileName without saving
--clear Table-2 in the second file, insert from the clipboard
set myActiveTable to the table "Table-2" of sheet "Sheet-2" of document evalFileName
tell myActiveTable
set the rangeStart to the name of cell 1 of column 1 as string
set the rangeEnd to the name of last cell of last column as string
--the next gives always an error: class <correct range> cannot changed to type reference
clear range range (rangeStart & ":" & rangeEnd)
set selection range to range "A1"

thanks for your really fast answer! It works! Thank you! Seems that I have not see the wood for the trees
I have another problem with this script. Because I use GUI-Scripting (CMD+v) for the insert sometimes the script uses the wrong table and insert there a new table … That’s not what I want.
With 2 Sheets (as in my example) it works. But I want to use it with a larger table with 5 Sheets/ 5 and more tables each. My hope is, that it is possible to use “native” scripting, without GUI-scripting. Something like this:
tell myActiveTable
set the rangeStart to the name of cell 1 of column 1 as string
set the rangeEnd to the name of last cell of last column as string
clear range (rangeStart & ":" & rangeEnd)
set the value of the range (rangeStart & ":" & rangeEnd) to the clipboard
end tell
But it wont work, AS gives me an error:
žvalue of range" cannot set as žanything". " number -10006 from value of range to anything
What is the syntax to insert content from the clipboard to a different range (not only to one cell)?
Annoyingly, Numbers doesn’t let you set the value of an entire range, nor does it have a paste command. You can either set the cell values individually (which is slow but sure) or you can set the selection range of the table you’re targeting to the range you want to fill and use GUI scripting to paste the data. I haven’t tried with multiple sheets, but with multiple tables, setting a selection range brings the table concerned into “focus”.
That part of the code would look something like this:
-- tell application "Numbers"
-- activate
tell myActiveTable
set the rangeStart to the name of cell 1 of column 1 as string
set the rangeEnd to the name of last cell of last column as string
set targetRange to range (rangeStart & ":" & rangeEnd)
clear targetRange
set selection range to targetRange
end tell
-- end tell
-- Numbers's "Paste and Match Style":
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using {command down, shift down, option down}
thanks again. It works but only partially. At first I’ve made little corrections to your code, before I always get an error -10000 from AS.
Now I’m using this code:
...
tell myActiveTable
set the rangeStart to the name of cell 1 of column 1 as string
set the rangeEnd to the name of last cell of last column as string
set targetRange to (rangeStart & ":" & rangeEnd)
clear range targetRange
set selection range to range "A1"
end tell
end tell
--Numbers's "Paste and Match Style":
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using {command down, shift down, option down}
I’ve corrected the “Insert”-Range to “A1”. Before (with the complete range) Numbers inserts only content with the size of this range. Because the content from my CSV-file is different, I’m using “A1” now. This adapt the “INSERT”-Range dynamically to the content from the clipboard.
One problem remains:
If my evaluation-table was saved with the cursor inside a different table than the “INSERT”-table, the script runs, cleares the range and pointed the cursor to “A1” (both inside the proper table). But the GUI-Scripting inserts from the clipboard always to the cursor-position from the last file-save and -in this case- not to the proper table. Thats ugly …
Seems that the “selection range” cannot “point” to the proper table for GUI-Scripting. Now I’m looking for a way to set the proper table for access via GUI-scripting …
The given code failed to define what was at front.
Here is one using one of my predefined handlers.
my activateGUIscripting()
set the clipboard to "just for see"
tell application "Numbers" to tell document 1 to tell sheet 1 to tell table 1

On both my machines, with Numbers 2.0.3, if the cursor’s in a different table in the same sheet, setting the selection range in the desired table brings that table into “focus” ” ie. ready to accept keystrokes and pasting. However, if the wrong sheet is to the fore, that’s difficult. I’ve worked out a GUI solution which works on both my machines (with my test document), but of course it’s not guaranteed to work for anyone else.
-- Say you want to paste into table 1 of sheet 2 of the front document.
-- tell application "Numbers" to activate
-- Switch the focus to the sheet "Sheet 2" in the front document.
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Numbers"
try
-- This works with Numbers 2.0.3 on my Tiger machine.
set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose value of static texts is {"Sheet 2"}) to true
on error number -1719
-- This works with Numbers 2.0.3 on my Snow Leopard machine.
set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose value of groups's static texts is {{"Sheet 2"}}) to true
end try
end tell
end tell
-- Clear table 1 of sheet 2 and set the selection range.
tell application "Numbers"
tell table 1 of sheet 2 of document 1
clear cell range
set selection range to range "A1"
end tell
end tell
-- Paste in the clipboard contents.
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using {command down, option down, shift down}
Yep, that is (was!) the problem! Thank you Nigel for the solution! Thank you also to Yvan. Your post can’t solve the problem. But-many of your Numbers 09-scripts (on your Mobile Me-site) helped me to learn scripting numbers!
I have expanded Nigels solution to a handler, useful to change the sheet in the focus. This is the handler and an example for a call of this:
--call
set myactiveSheet to "Sheet-1"
ChangeSheetinFocus(myactiveSheet)
--handler
on ChangeSheetinFocus(mySheet)
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Numbers"
try
-- This works with Numbers 2.0.3 on my Tiger machine.
set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose value of static texts is {mySheet}) to true
on error number -1719
-- This works with Numbers 2.0.3 on my Snow Leopard machine.
set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose value of groups's static texts is {{mySheet}}) to true
end try
end tell
end tell
end tell
end ChangeSheetinFocus
Here is a slightly modified version.
It doesn’t use try but call directly the code required by the in use OS.
set myactiveSheet to "Sheet 2"
ChangeSheetinFocus(myactiveSheet)
on ChangeSheetinFocus(mySheet)
set itIsOs4 to 5 > (system attribute "sys2")
tell application "Numbers" to activate
if itIsOs4 then
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Numbers" to set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose value of static texts is {mySheet}) to true
else
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Numbers" to set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose value of groups's static texts is {{mySheet}}) to true
end if
end ChangeSheetinFocus

First sheet is named “Sheet 1”
and contains a table named “main”.
This sheet is ‘open’ so the name of the table “main” is displayed
Second sheet is named as you want
and contains a table named as you want.
The focus is on this sheet.
Third sheet is named “main”
and contains a table named as you want.
This sheet is ‘closed’ so we don’t see the table’s name.
Asking the script to trigger the sheet “main” will in fact trigger the table “main”.
Happily, I was able to build a script taking care of that under 10.5 and higher but at this time I have no soluce under 10.4.11
Maybe somebody will be able to fill the gap.

set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window dName whose value of static texts is {sName}) to true

I was able to fill an important part of the gap.
Now, under 10.4.11, the script select a sheet even if a table has the same name.
The remaining gap is :
is it a way to ‘open’ a sheet which isn’t ?
The script is able to check this status.
It calculates the location of the black triangle in front of the sheet’s name but trying to click it changes nothing.
What am’I doing wrong ?

I’m not experiencing this problem on my 10.6.3 machine (using your version of the script in post #9). The sheet “main” is selected every time, even though it comes below the table “main” in the Sheets list. I suspect it may be the nested structure of the UI elements which makes it work properly, but I haven’t looked into that yet.
On my 10.4.11 machine, it’s the table “main” that’s selected, as you describe. I’ve managed to the identify the sheet row on that system by taking the “AXDisclosureLevel” attribute into account too. It’s value appears to be 0 for sheets and 1 for tables. I hope this works for you too.
set myactiveSheet to "main"
ChangeSheetinFocus(myactiveSheet)
on ChangeSheetinFocus(mySheet)
set itIsOs4 to 5 > (system attribute "sys2")
tell application "Numbers" to activate
if itIsOs4 then
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Numbers" to set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose (value of attribute "AXDisclosureLevel" is 0) and (value of static texts is {mySheet})) to true
else
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Numbers" to set value of attribute "AXSelected" of (first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose value of groups's static texts is {{mySheet}}) to true
end if
end ChangeSheetinFocus
With regard to your query about “opening” a sheet (ie. disclosing the names of its tables in the Sheets column), the rows in both 10.4.11 and 10.6.3 have an “AXDisclosing” attribute whose value can be set to true or false to disclose or hide the table names.
Edit: I suspected above that it might be the structure which made the script immune in OS 10.6.3 to the problem Yvan described. I’ve now checked and it is. “Table” rows still have a static text element, like all the rows in OS 10.4.11, while “sheet” rows in OS 10.6 3 have a group element and it’s this which has the static text, so there’s no chance of a “sheet” filter picking up a “table” row.
Instead of writing ‘whose value of groups’s static texts is {{mySheet}}’, it might be clearer to phrase it as ‘whose value of first group’s first static text is mySheet’. (My fault, originally.) The complete script might then look something like this:
set myactiveSheet to "main"
ChangeSheetinFocus(myactiveSheet)
on ChangeSheetinFocus(mySheet)
set itIsOs4 to 5 > (system attribute "sys2")
tell application "Numbers" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Numbers"
if itIsOs4 then
set targetSheetRow to first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose (value of attribute "AXDisclosureLevel" is 0) and (value of first static text is mySheet)
else
set targetSheetRow to first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 whose (value of first group's first static text is mySheet)
end if
tell targetSheetRow to set {value of attribute "AXSelected", value of attribute "AXDisclosing"} to {true, true}
end tell
end ChangeSheetinFocus
I saw your post in AS-Users about things not working when the target sheet contains no tables. The same is true for the above script. I’ll try and fix it tomorrow.
set myactiveSheet to "main"
ChangeSheetinFocus(myactiveSheet)
on ChangeSheetinFocus(mySheet)
set itIsOs4 to 5 > (system attribute "sys2")
tell application "Numbers" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Numbers"
if itIsOs4 then
-- '(value of attributes contains 0)': '(value of attribute "AXDisclosureLevel" is 0)' sometimes works in Tiger, sometimes not. The only possible instances of 0 amongst the attributes are the disclosure level of a sheet row and the index of the first row, which represents a sheet anyway. Another possibility is '(value of attribute -1 is 0)', which makes me uneasy.
set targetSheetRow to first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 where ((value of attributes contains 0) and (value of first static text is mySheet))
else
set targetSheetRow to first row of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 where ((value of attribute "AXDisclosureLevel" is 0) and ((groups is {}) and (value of first static text is mySheet)) or (value of first group's first static text is mySheet))
end if
tell targetSheetRow to set {value of attribute "AXSelected", value of attribute "AXDisclosing"} to {true, true}
end tell
end ChangeSheetinFocus
After fighting against the odd effects of a test with a wrong tool I was at last ready to test your script when I discovered the late one.
I can’t test it under 10.6 because the imac is elsewhere with my daughter.
I tested it under 10.4.11.
With every case it behaves flawlessly.
So, I’m glad to be able to write: Problem solved !
Thank you Nigel.
I let you post your fine script in the other forum.
Maybe some one would be interested.
Now, I will try to add some instructions to select a table in a sheet.

targetSheetRow’s index (0-based) can be read directly from another of its attributes:
-- (Part of the selectTable handler.)
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Numbers"
-- Identify the target sheet row, tnen:
tell targetSheetRow to set value of attribute "AXDisclosing" to true
-- Get the sheet row's 0-based index + 2 for the following row's 1-based index.
set r to (value of attribute "AXIndex" of targetSheetRow) + 2
tell outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window theDoc
repeat until (value of first static text of row r is theTable)
set r to r + 1
end repeat
set value of attribute "AXSelected" of row r to true
end tell -- outline 1 .
end tell -- System Events
Son of a . my eyes where wide shut.

PS. I understand why I missed it.
I looked attributes of row 1.
As i saw only zeroes, I didn’t thought that they may be numbered the Apple way (starting from zero).
