A quick question:
I have a tricky routine for storing an encrypted password that revolves around checking if a key in user defaults exists, that then sets another user default :
i
if default entry "txtfld" exists then
try
set textcryp to contents of default entry "txtfld" as string
if textcryp is not equal to "" then
set passwordtext to my decrypt(textcryp)
else
set passwordtext to ""
end if
end try
else
try
if default entry "passwordtext" exists then
set temptxt to contents of default entry "passwordtext" as string
set passwordtext to temptxt
if passwordtext is not equal to "" then
set textcrypb to my encrypt(temptxt)
set contents of default entry "passwordtext" to ""
else
set textcrypb to ""
end if
else
set textcrypb to ""
end if
end try
make new default entry at end of default entries with properties {name:"txtfld", contents:textcrypb}
end if
I am not concerned about the above script so much but if it possible in ASOC to check if a key exists in defaults.
I know you can user registerDefaults as a way to initialize the defaults values but it will be tricky to use that for this. Any ideas? I looked in the docs but nothing about the key values themselves…
