copied!<ol> <li><code>argv</code> is always initialized to a list.</li> <li>You cannot keystroke a list (you have to coerce each item to a string first).</li> <li><p>You can never tell the exact number of parameters that will be sent to the script, so a better route would be to iterate through the list and do whatever needs to be done, as shown below:</p> <pre><code>tell application "System Events" tell process "Sparrow" key code 3 using {command down, option down} repeat with this_item in argv keystroke (this_item as string) end repeat end tell end tell </code></pre></li> </ol> <hr> <p>@Runar </p> <ol> <li>The script is implying that Sparrow is already activated.</li> <li><p>You can't do this as written (the result of <code>every text item of argv</code> is still a list). However, if you coerce the result into a string, this will work, but it will squash everything together (assuming <code>AppleScript's text item delimiters</code> is <code>""</code>). If you <code>set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space</code>, then this would actually be better than the previous script...</p> <pre><code>on run argv tell application "Sparrow" to activate tell application "System Events" tell process "Sparrow" --implying Sparrow is already activated set prevTIDs to AppleScript's text item delimiters key code 3 using {command down, option down} set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space keystroke (every text item of argv) as string set AppleScript's text item delimiters to prevTIDs end tell end tell end run </code></pre></li> </ol>
