Re: 4D Called from AppleScript
Maybe you can use 'osascript' via LEP. Like: -- Displaying a dialog with osascript osascript -e 'display dialog ""' returns execution error: No user interaction allowed. One option is to tell a background process like SystemUIServer to display the dialog: answer=$(osascript -e 'try tell application "SystemUIServer" set answer to text returned of (display dialog "" default answer "") end try activate application (path to frontmost application as text) end answer end' | tr '\r' '\n') [[ $answer ]] || exit You can also tell the frontmost application to display a dialog, but the dialog isn't shown immediately if the application is not responding. If MPlayer OS X is frontmost, text dialogs don't accept any keyboard input. answer=$(osascript -e 'try tell application (path to frontmost application as text) text returned of (display dialog "" default answer "") end end' | tr '\r' '\n') [[ $answer ]] || exit Bernd 2018-03-06 16:07 GMT+01:00 Herr Alexander Heintz via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com>: > Hi Folks, > > does anyone know, if it is possible to talk to 4D from AppleScript? > I have a small application that receives information form a phone system > and can launch an AppleScript. > Now I would like this to „talk“ to 4D. > Any ideas, is it even possible? > > Thanks > Alex > > ** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com > ** ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

That’s the one I had in mind, yes.

Re: 4D Called from AppleScript
I did a couple of quick google searches and found that AppleScript can send HTTP Get/Post requests, SOAP requests, and SQL requests. 4D can respond/consume any of these. For example google found for "AppleScript Get and Post requests"… https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12678900/can-applescript-send-get-or-post-requests Another idea might be to have apple script create xml files that 4D could read. There are probably more direct ways to get 4D talking with AppleScript that others will quickly point out.

Re: 4D Called from AppleScript
Miyako has something that allows 4D to respond to custom URLs. It was mentioned here recently. You might be able to adapt that. Just a thought.

4D Called from AppleScript
Hi Folks, does anyone know, if it is possible to talk to 4D from AppleScript? I have a small application that receives information form a phone system and can launch an AppleScript. Now I would like this to „talk“ to 4D. Any ideas, is it even possible?
