Speech pitch

I’m using Archive Maker as an interface template for my project. When I’m finished processing the list of files I’ve dragged on to the table list. I want to make a “Clear” button to empty the list so I can drag and drop more files to process. I know how to make buttons work, but I don’t know the proper method to clear the list.

The keyword “delete” will work (this is a sample):

delete every data row of data source of table view x of scroll view x of window x

thanks jj I’ll give it a go.

What if you just want to delete some rows, not all? I’ve had a hard time trying something like this:

  delete data row i of theDataSource

[jonn8]

this is the method I use (note that this will only work for non-sorted tables where the displayed rows correspond one-to-one with the row order in the data source):

–Open this script in a new Script Editor window.

tell window “main”
set the_table to table view 1 of scroll view 1
set the_data_source to data source of the_table
set the_row to selected row of the_table
tell the_data_source to delete data row the_row
tell the_table to set selected row to (the_row - 1)
call method “scrollRowToVisible:” of object the_table with parameter (the_row - 2)
update
end tell
