Applescript help with true or false script

Hi Ron,

You will find applescript gurus in the Numbers for Mac forum. I realise that your question may not involve Numbers, but the gurus will be glad to help you. Post a question there.

Regards,

Ian.

Howdy Ian - long while, eh? I think I would have 'reported for relocation' myself 😉

How do you like the new hybrid "Helpie/Likey" bizness? Makes sense to me. Now if we could just "UNDO" any mistaken choices in that regard!

Use code such as:

if variable then

--script A

else

--script B

end if

AppleScript calls this kind of script a "Conditional" = if this > then that

Some templates are in MacintoshHD/Library/Scripts/Script Editor Scripts/Conditionals

You don't need a value for "false" in binary as it is merely "not true" (else)

----

if true then

-- insert if actions here

else

-- insert else actions here

end if

----

If you already have your Scripts A & B working, copy>pastethem into the "insert actions here" part as appropriate

Sorry Sensei... I took a "Brunch break" while editing 😊 - ÇÇÇ

Hello

If I understand it correctly, you may try something like this.

set f to "/path/to/Status/Good.rtf" try f as POSIX file as alias set e to true on error set e to false end try if e then run script a --run script ("/path/to/a.scpt") as POSIX file else run script b --run script ("/path/to/b.scpt") as POSIX file end if script a return 1 end script script b return 0 end script
