Hi,
I am trying to make a GUI script that will get the contents of a text field, say of Safari… and set it to a variable
Anyone have any ideas? I am new to GUI scripting
Thanks

Hi,
the common syntax for GUI scripting is
activate application "Safari"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
set myVar to value of text field 1 of . of window 1
end tell
end tell
You can determine the UI Element for example with Apple’s UIElementInspector
Thanks,
And I would guess to set the value of a text field you would say set value of text field 1 of . of window 1 to “Whatever”?
Exactly
