List All Applications in Applications folder

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

Hi, I’m trying to list every application in the applications folder, but not in subfolders. I tried

set appF to (path to applications folder as string)

tell application "Finder"
	set theItems to name of every application of folder appF
end tell

… but I get this error: error “Finder got an error: Can’t get every application of folder "Applications" of startup disk.” number -1728 from every application of folder “Applications” of startup disk

Every file of of folder appF works but not application!

It’s “application file” (no quotes)

Ah ok, thanks! =)

Perhaps this should be in the “AppleScriptObjC and Xcode” forum, but how could I make this into a tableview, simply ?

set appF to (path to applications folder as string)
tell application "Finder"
	set theItems to name of every application file of folder appF
end tell

choose from list theItems

instead of choose from list, show a window with a nice tableview … How though… ?
