Sorry, somehow it got garbled when I posted it. This should work:


set mySSID to do shell script "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I | awk '/ SSID/ {print substr($0, index($0, $2))}'"


This will set the variable mySSID to the current SSID.
