List all applications - output as text file

Question

I was just wondering how someone would go about finding all the applications that are installed on Mac OS X 10.5 using preferably applescript and output all their applicatio

Answer 1

For poeple like me using bash scripting to reach their goals here is a bash variant of the script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

path='/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support'
$path/lsregister -dump | grep -A 1 "^bundle" | grep --only-matching "/.*\.app" | awk -F "/" '{ print $NF }' | awk -F "." '{ print $1 }'

This gives a list of all apps without the .app extension.
