Indesign – run multiple applescript

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi

I’m looking to run multiple applescripts from one single script.

I want to reference ‘Script A’, ‘Script B’ & ‘Script C’ sitting in my indesign scripts folder on my mac and run all via one script.

Any help very welcome!

thanks

Shane

Hi. What you’re asking about is the store/load/run script object functionality, which is actually part of the scripting commands suite of Standard Additions and has no association with InDesign.

There are more in-depth examples in the forum, but I have a script on my desktop whose sole statement is “beep”, and it can be called like this:


run script (load script (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:administrator:Desktop:beep.scpt"))

Indesign also has a do script command. You can get a list of scripts installed from the app script preferences. Your called scripts can be AppleScript or Adobe’s JavaScript
