AECaptureParser makes a brave attempt to convert the text output
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the very handy Lasso Capture AE control panel
|
|
|
|
|
|
into close-enough executable python code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a roundabout way AECaptureParser offers the way to write lines of AppleScript
|
|
|
|
|
|
and convert them to python code. Once Pythonised, the code can be made prettier,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and it can run without Capture or Script Editor being open.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need Lasso Capture AE from Blueworld:
|
|
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.blueworld.com/Lasso251/LassoCaptureAE.hqx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lasso Capture AE prints structured ascii representations in a small window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As these transcripts can be very complex, cut and paste to AECaptureParser, it parses and writes
|
|
|
|
|
|
python code that will, when executed, cause the same events to happen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's been tested with some household variety events, I'm sure there will be tons that
|
|
|
|
|
|
don't work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All objects are converted to standard aetypes.ObjectSpecifier instances.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Start the Capture window
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Cause the desired appleevent to happen
|
|
|
|
|
|
- by writing a line of applescript in Script Editor and running it (!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- by recording some action in Script Editor and running it
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Find the events in Capture:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- make sure you get the appropriate events, cull if necessary
|
|
|
|
|
|
- sometimes Capture barfs, just quit and start Capture again, run events again
|
|
|
|
|
|
- AECaptureParser can process multiple events - it will just make more code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Copy and paste in this script and execute
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. It will print python code that, when executed recreates the events.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
For instance the following line of AppleScript in Script Editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
tell application "Finder"
|
|
|
|
|
|
return application processes
|
|
|
|
|
|
end tell
|
|
|
|
|
|
will result in the following transcript:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[event: target="Finder", class=core, id=getd]
|
|
|
|
|
|
'----':obj {form:indx, want:type(pcap), seld:abso(<EFBFBD>616C6C20<EFBFBD>), from:'null'()}
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/event]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feed a string with this (and perhaps more) events to AECaptureParser
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some mysteries:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* what is '&subj' - it is sent in an activate event: &subj:'null'()
|
|
|
|
|
|
The activate event works when this is left out. A possibility?
|
|
|
|
|
|
* needs to deal with embedded aliasses
|
