I Want To Get Worksheets Of Area Of Circle And Brackets Of Class 7.

Whoa! Your sentence is entirely valid Applescript code (except for the words "I Want To")!

I've been writing a lot of Applescript lately. Here, let me get that for you:

tell application "Theoretical Worksheet Repository"
     get worksheets of area of circle and brackets of class 7
end tell

Just paste that into Script Editor, and you're good to go. (Somebody smack me for telling jokes that I know darn well are only funny to me.)

*Smack*

i, and other people of the newgrounds flash forum, often do similar things, although, in a slightly different context to do with actionscript

everynow and again, a newcomer, with no idea, will come onto the forums and ask how to do something, or ask why something wont work when it makes no sense at all to us that know any cence of actionscript.

one time, someone actually believe us, and afterwards, got annoyed that his animation didnt work, what he told us he was using was

make a bus with yellow wheels
the bus drives from one side to the other
and when it gets there it stops and opens the door

and he literally thought this was valid actionscript, when all he did, was write a little paragraph in english

What is applescript?

ryos · 2006-08-21 08:08:11

Applescript is a scripting language created by Apple for scripting applications on the Mac. You can tie applications together and automate repetitive tasks - very handy! They also tried to make its syntax English-like in an attempt to make it friendly and easy to learn, but in fact it's just as rigid as any programming language and so is just as hard to learn.

something like batch file script?

ryos · 2006-08-22 11:59:28

I'm not 100% sure, but I think batch files are more analogous to Unix shell scripts, which Macs can also run.

Applescript is for GUI applications. Think VBA in Microsoft Office, only on a global system level.
