Thanks, John and HAS. It turned out that after all was said and done, things
were more complicted. I needed to be able to plug in a half dozen scripts,
most of them a couple dozen lines, using some "System Events" GUI scripting. So
I decided to ship them in Contents/Resources so they could be separately
debugged and tested.
ObjC-appscript looks interesting but I already had it pretty well done before I
read HAS's message, and it's not too much code, although I find it odd that
Cocoa wouldn't have a method built in for doing this, and VERY odd that the
descriptors use 1-based indexing like AppleScript. That was my main problem,
John!
John's code was very close. Here's the meat of the final version:
NSAppleEventDescriptor* descriptor = [script executeAndReturnError:NULL] ;
NSMutableDictionary* info = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary] ;
NSInteger i ;
for (i=1; i<=[descriptor numberOfItems]; i++) {
// This loop should only execute once; [descriptor numberOfItems] = 1
NSAppleEventDescriptor* subdescriptor = [descriptor descriptorAtIndex:i] ;
NSInteger nItems = [subdescriptor numberOfItems] ;
// nItems should be 2 x number of values in the record
if ((nItems > 0) && (nItems%2 == 0)) {
NSUInteger j ;
for(j=1; j<=[subdescriptor numberOfItems]/2; j++){
NSString* key = [[subdescriptor descriptorAtIndex:(2*j-1)]
stringValue] ;
NSString* value = [[subdescriptor descriptorAtIndex:(2*j)]
stringValue] ;
if (key && value) {
[browmarkInfo setObject:value
forKey:key] ;
}
}
break ;
}
}
