Hi

If I have a table with 3 columns how can I get the contents of Col 1 and 3 in a list?

I tried this with no luck…

set tableData to contents of table column 1 and table column 3 of table view “fileList” of scroll view “fileListScroll” of window “mainWin”

Thanks…

Steve

Should have mentioned:

I can do this:

set fileListData to {}
		set rowCount to count of every data row of data source 1 of table view "fileList" of scroll view "fileListScroll" of window "mainWin"
		repeat with i from 1 to rowCount
			set listFileName to contents of data cell 1 of data row i of data source 1 of table view "fileList" of scroll view "fileListScroll" of window "mainWin"
			set listParentFolder to contents of data cell 3 of data row i of data source 1 of table view "fileList" of scroll view "fileListScroll" of window "mainWin"
			copy {listFileName, listParentFolder} to end of fileListData
		end repeat

Was just hoping to see if I could do it in one line.

try this…

set theDataSource to the data source of table view 1 of scroll view 1 of window 1
set the_data to the contents of data cell 1 of data rows of theDataSource

Note: data cell 1 is the column number, or you can give it its applescript name like data cell “columnName”
