I have the apple script below in xcode and it doesn’t run the same as it does in apple script. I am having this trouble a lot does xcode applescript objc not run the same as apple script?

XCODE


--  FormAppDelegate.applescript
--  Form
--
--  Created blah blah
--  Copyright blah blah
--

script FormAppDelegate
	property parent : class "NSObject"
    
    on awakeFromNib()
set WebsiteHtml to do shell script "curl [url=http://macscripter.net/]http://macscripter.net/"[/url]
display dialog WebsiteHtml
set text item delimiters to "head"
display dialog text item 1 of WebsiteHtml
        end awakeFromNib
	
	on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
		-- Insert code here to initialize your application before any files are opened 
	end applicationWillFinishLaunching_
	
	on applicationShouldTerminate_(sender)
		-- Insert code here to do any housekeeping before your application quits 
		return current application's NSTerminateNow
	end applicationShouldTerminate_
	
end script

APPLE SCRIPT


set WebsiteHtml to do shell script "curl [url=http://macscripter.net/]http://macscripter.net/"[/url]
display dialog WebsiteHtml
set text item delimiters to "head"
display dialog text item 1 of WebsiteHtml

Hi,

the parent class of an ASOC script is Cocoa’s NSObject not AppleScript itself.
So you have to specify the owner of text item delimiters explicitly


.
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "head"
.

To avoid unexpected behavior don’t forget to reset AppleScript’s text item delimiters to the previous or default state after using it.

How do I know how to make sure to tell it to use apple script and NSObject?

I have a code like this too that errors because it checks the items of NSObject

  on ClickHere_(sender)
        tell application "Finder"
            set iitems to get name of items of alias "Macintosh HD:users:nicholassmith:Desktop"
            set itemOne to text item 1 of iitems
            display dialog itemOne
        end tell
        
        ItemOneDesktop's setStringValue_("hi")
        end ClickHere_

First, don’t use finder for standalone applications. You don’t need it in this case and you don’t want to be depended on other applications. Then when you’re working with lists you can’t say text item but just access the item directly.

--applescript way
on ClickHere_(sender)
set iitems to list folder "Macintosh HD:users:nicholassmith:Desktop" as list 
set itemOne to item 1 of iitems
display dialog itemOne
ItemOneDesktop's setStringValue_("hi")
end ClickHere_
