Re: AppleScript: How to access note contents?

I don't actually need to put it all in a variable; According to the Scripting Guidelines: If an object’s contents can be represented as a single value, it should define a contents property. For example, documents in a word processor would define a contents property that returned all the text as a string. contents is usually writable. For this reason, Yojimbo note items have a property named contents. The problem you are running into is because you have a variable which contains a reference (specifier) to the note item. AppleScript treats contents of specially when operating on variables. set x to 3 contents of x -- 3 If x is a reference/specifier to an object, then sometimes AppleScript will automatically dereference the variable for you. tell application Script Editor set d to document 2 name of d -- My Fancy Script name of contents of d -- My Fancy Script end tell But AppleScript doesn't do the implicit dereferencing when asking for the contents property (because of the semantics in the first example.) tell application Script Editor set d to document 2 name of d -- My Fancy Script contents of d -- AppleScript asks the script editor for `document 2`, and it returns -- document 2 of application Script Editor contents of contents of d -- AppleScript asks the script editor for `contents of document 2`, and it returns -- the text content of the document contents of document 2 -- AppleScript asks the script editor for `contents of document 2`, and it returns -- the text content of the document end tell This conflict between the contents property and the contents of operator can be confusing.

The selection follows the user focus. When user focus is not in the collection or items list, there is no scriptable object selected, so asking for the selection property returns missing value to indicate this. The scripting class of the main window is browser window and it has two additional properties which allow you to access the selected collection and selected items independent of the currently focused view.
