Jim,

Thanks for pointing me to that - very comprehensive.

If I ever finish cobbling together this current script I'll post it here. I'm exporting a list of text items (with carriage returns in the text) as a .csv file to print, repurpose etc.

Cheers,

Pat

I expect what I'm trying to do is very simple - I want to get the text contents of a text note into an AppleScript variable. When I use the following code, however, it gives me the note id and not the text stored in it.

        set theDef to contents of item i of myTargets
                (* where myTargets is a list of items *)

I guess it's protecting me from trying to get rich text into a text string. So is there some way of doing this? I just need the text from the note in the variable.

Rather than repeat myself :-)...
