Re: Applescript: Get text contents of text note

[Patrick Gilmour]

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

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 :-)...

Applescript: Get text contents of text note

[Patrick Gilmour]

Hi,

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.


Thanks,

Pat
