Using a Result (true or false) of a command as variable

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I want to store the true or false result from an application command as a variable

example:

tell apllication “x”
do something --Result will be true if the program could perform the command or false if there was a problem
end tell

is this possible? And how…

Thx,

Bram

How’s this?

tell application "x"
    try
        do something
        return true
        
    on error
        return false
    end try
end tell
#3 
tell application "x" to set booleanResultVariable to do something
