Is there a comprehensive AppleScript learning resource beyond outdated books?
I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface of what AppleScript can do, but any documentation online usually just ends up in a command reference and trial / error.
I'm hesitant to pursue much further trying when it doesn't look like there's much in the way of education past books published in the 2000's.
Is there anything besides Introduction to AppleScript Language Guide that can take someone from creating basic actions to more complex interactions between apps and OS?
I'd ideally like to create a Workflow/Scripting combo that can take a spreadsheet file I've received, dropped in a folder, open it, parse out rows of information, append them to the end of specific Numbers sheet, highlight a column and set the cell format to "Pop Up Menu", then copy the last cell in the column with data and paste with style to another sheet (for a drop down).
I also have Alfred if that is better.
This code below is my first script that copies several pieces of info to use for various pasting to 3rd party apps. You can see how much I don't know with this. :-)
I need a reference to help do what I want, and how to tighten up my code.
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set selection range of table 3 of sheet 1 of document 1 to cell 1 of row 2 of table 3 of sheet 1 of document 1
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Numbers"
set selection range of table 4 of sheet 1 of document 1 to range "A2:A5" of table 4 of sheet 1 of document 1
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Numbers"
set selection range of table 1 of sheet 1 of document 1 to cell 1 of row 1 of table 1 of sheet 1 of document 1
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set selection range of table 1 of sheet 1 of document 1 to cell 1 of row 6 of table 1 of sheet 1 of document 1
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Numbers"
activate
do shell script "screencapture -cPR1810,530,720,720 $HOME/Pictures/PatchImage2.png"
end tell
