由 做~自己de王妃 提交于 2019-12-06 11:42:08
问题 I've written and AppleScript App that runs a "mount -t smbfs " command to mount a Windows Shared drive that our Staff use. The App has been used successfully for a number of months until today. If a user has an @ symbol in their password the application fails. The path is rejected. Here's the script: -- Teaching Drive Access --Get The Shortname and PC Password of current user --set PCusername to (short user name of (system info)) set PCusername to "benstaff" --set PCPassword to text returned

Cocoa Scripting: Returning “null” vs. “missing value”

由 六月ゝ 毕业季﹏ 提交于 2019-12-06 11:22:24
It appears that AppleScript knows the special value null . How do I return such a value from my Cocoa Scripting based app for a scriptable property? If I return nil ( NULL ) or NSNull for a scriptable property getter from my Cocoa Scripting-based app, the script editor interprets that as missing value . And if I return [NSAppleEventDescriptor nullDescriptor] , AppleScript even shows an error. AppleScript uses a typeNull descriptor to indicate unassigned/no value, whereas missing value is represented by a typeType descriptor of cMissingValue . (It's analogous to the undefined vs null mess in

How & where to best retrieve sudo password via a native GUI on a macOS Python-based app - (while maintaining an interactive output stream (stdout))

由 给你一囗甜甜゛ 提交于 2019-12-06 10:40:00
Ok, so the situation is this: I am building a macOS GUI App using Python and wx (wxphoenix). The user can use the GUI (say: script1 ) to launch a file-deletion process (contained in script2 ). In order to run successfully script2 needs to run with sudo rights. script2 will itterate over a long list of files and delete them. But I need it to communicate with the GUI contained in script1 after each round so that script1 can update the progressbar. In it's absolute most basic form my current working setup looks like this: Script1: import io from threading import Thread import subprocess import wx

Im building an app for learning purposes of using applescript to send multiple commands during an action. Below is the code I'm messing with but I have stripped out the actions in between the "" and replaced them with numbers.

Looking for a terminal command to parse MacOSX dictionary data file

由 廉价感情. 提交于 2019-12-06 09:40:29
问题 Problem MacOSX comes with dictionaries stored in /Library/Dictionaries . I would like to parse them to obtain dictionary results programmatically (via Terminal, AppleScript, or Automator). The dictionaries are MacOSX packages and all have a Contents folder that contains a file called Body.data . I would like to parse that file for a UTF-8 string (maybe Chinese character double bytes) and return the lines where the string is found. I've tried the following, which is not returning any results:
