Hi Richard I noticed in your bug report was for Mac so till that enhancement gets implemented you could use this.
function powerStatus put shell ("pmset -g batt") into tPowerStatus put matchtext(tPowerStatus, "'([^']*)",tPowerSource) into tSuccess return tPowerSource end powerStatus Not sure how to do this for other platforms. I wonder if this could be something that could be made into a widget once they are ready?
