Robert,

The idea of using tokens is new to me. The idea seems sound but I am confused about the syntax. Would you mind giving an example? My questions are how to extract the token and replace it? can I use replace, find, etc.
I looked up the token command and this was not clear.

Thanks,

Tom

I wanted to add that if you plan to edit those script on more or less regular basis, then keeping them in an normally invisible field is just as good as a property.

With regards to tokens, here is an example of an AppleScript:

tell application [appname] to activate

Let's assume you store it in a property called myApplescriptBringForward and you want to execute it to make Finder come forwards

put quote & "Finder" & quote into appname
get the myApplescriptBringForward of this stack
replace "[appname]" with appname in it
do it as applescript

I coded this quite explicitely and hope this makes things clear for you :)

Note that my using square brackets is not mandatory but they are convenient delimiters ensuring that the token is a unique string.

Robert
