Hi all,
I’m trying to get the path to front most applciation with the following code but last line shows me the empty dialog. Anybody knows what I’m missing here ?

set quark_path to “” as text

tell application (path to frontmost application as text) to app_path
display dialog app_path buttons {“ok”} default button 1 with icon 1

TIA,
Nima

Hello

I assumes that this one will works better if the script is saved as an application.

If run from the Script Editor, it returns the Script Editor’s path.

set quark_path to "" as text

set app_path to (path to frontmost application as text)
display dialog app_path buttons {"ok"} default button 1 with icon 1
