Applescript: Keyword Argument to variable

[Efty.Edge]

Hi.

 

Currently i only use applescript. I have no idea from bin/bash programming. So can someone please tell me how to put an keyword argument into a usr/bin/osascript variable to use it in the script!? I try something like this...

 

KEYWORD ARGUMENT: yd update

 

Script: if {query} = "update" then ...   

 

Thanx in advance.

Try it with:

set myVar to "{query}"
if myVar is "update" then
...
end if

Hi _mk_ 

 

Thank you! It's really simple. So excuse me i have to do a double Facepalm...

I use to add “as text” explicitly, just in case (some workflows don’t work as expected without it):

Set myVar to “{query}” as text
