osascript parameters

Hi,

How do you send parameters through osascript to the run handler of a compiled script without using ‘run script’. I thought that Apple had implemented this.

Thanks,

Do you mean like this?

do shell script "osascript ~/Documents/Scripts/'Internet Session.scpt' Rogers >/dev/null 2>&1 &"

where “Rogers” is a parameter.

Hi billearl,

I did that with the arguments following the file path, but it did n’t work. I’ll try again. Thanks for confirming that it should work.

Hi billearl,

It’s working now. This is the main script saved to the desktop as Compiled Script “Incrx”:


property n : 0
property m : 1
on run param_list
	set m to item 1 of param_list
	set n to n + 1
	set p to m * n
	tell application "System Events"
		display dialog p
	end tell
end run

When ‘run script’ is run from the script Editor with this:


set desk_path to (path to desktop) as string
run script ((desk_path & "Incrx.scpt") as alias) with parameters {2}

the properties of the script aren’t saved. When I run the script with osascript from Script Editor, the properties are saved.


set desk_path to (path to desktop) as string
set pp to POSIX path of desk_path
set sp to pp & "Incrx.scpt"
set ss to "osascript " & (quoted form of sp) & " 2"
do shell script ss

It’s like creating an instance of a script while deleting the old one.

Thanks a lot,
