Hey I’m new here and to (apple)scripting.
My goal (if it’s possible) is to make a script that will:
a) Prompt me with a dialog box weather or not to run the rest of the script. The prompt will come once a certain amount of time has gone by without changing a song in iTunes.
b) If I say yes continue, I want the script to get the following information from iTunes:
a) The track name of the song that is playing
b) The artist of the song playing
c) Any other information I choose about the current song
c) I would then like to open a website forum and reply to a topic with that information. I would like to be able to modify that information in a format in which I choose how it all looks in the post.
d) Close the webpage/browser
I have NO idea if this is possible.
I have had a lot of experience with MIRC scripting so I am vaguely familiar with the whole scripting idea. I know there are variables, identifiers etc. but I don’t know how this will all work or if it will work at all.
I do want to eventually learn how to script like a pro but I need to get some help because reading tutorials is just painful. I can’t seem to find what I want/need. I learn from seeing a script and seeing what each individual line does in that script. Then to copy that in my own script and see what it does through trial and error.
So if anyone is willing to walk me through making a script like the one I just mentioned I would greatly appreciate it.
Also I hope my post is in the right spot. If not sorry I’m new!
Thanks.
