Applescript help

[Adam]

Okie dokie, why isn't the query working in this?

 

on alfred_script(q)
tell application "Thyme"
    q
end tell
end alfred_script

 

If I hard code the values start, stop, pause, toggle it works fine. The query is passed through to the post notification. 

 

Best way to debug something simple like this?
 

Cheers,

 

Adam

The variable q is a string, so you get this:

tell application "Thyme"
    "start"
end tell

 

You can use if statements to achieve your goal:

 

on alfred_script(q)
tell application "Thyme"
    if q is "start" then
       start
    else if q is "stop" then
       stop
    else if q is "pause" then
       pause
    else
       toggle
    end if
end tell
end alfred_script

 

Hope this helps you

Brilliant. thanks Jonas. Despite all these years on a Mac I've not really bothered with Applescript yet!
