Programming ideas....

Help! I’m new to applescript studio and the best way for me to learn is through challenges and expeirementation.:confused:
Right now I can’t thing of anything to program in Applescript Studio and Xcode.:frowning:
Any suggestions would be helpful!:wink:
BTW: the more complicated the better.:slight_smile:
Also, if it has been done and has been shared in this forum please don’t post it

Ok, create a script that’ll read a file (.ini file), it reads that file tht has a path in it. And only a path! for instance /Library/. That file gets read by applescript, and then does a command with the path of reading the file.
If you need clues i can give you it. The only part i don’t know how to do is to read the files. If you know that’d be great!

Make an app that has a user interface that stays up. Put a text scroll view on it. Have a button where you select a folder. Then the script lists the name of all the files and folders in the folder in the scroll window.
For some extra challenge, use a real table/list view instead and populate that with the folder contents.

Also doing the “mail search” XCode tutorial application that is in the documentation is a pretty good start too.

@ Slacker: How about “set tFileContents to read (choose file)”
