is there anyway to “get” the text that a buddy sends to you on the new iChatAV release? if I wanted to log everything that they sent me with an apple script?
The current iChat isn’t scriptable and I don’t know if the beta is, check with the Script Editor. You can turn on “Automatically save chat transcripts” in the preferences in the current version. Check to see if it’s still in the beta prefs. Not quite as nice as doing it on the fly, though.
Thru now scriptable in Panther, getting chat text is still not possible, except if you use the magical “GUI Scripting”:
tell application “System Events”
tell process “iChat”
tell window “acccount name”
value of text area 1 of scroll area 1
end tell – window
end tell --process
end tell – app
Hope this helps
