syntax for do shell script output displayed as list in applescript

Hi guys,

I am looking for the correct syntax for a

do shell script command in applescript,

where the results of the do shell script command are displayed as a list in applescript,

whereupon i can then choose one of these given results and move on from there, this is where i have gotten to:

my issue is that the results are as follows when done in terminal:

but when done in applescript i only see this:

obviously the terminal results need to be handled in some special manner that i am unaware of,

to handle each line in the terminal results as a single option in my list. Anyone got any idea how to do this?

cheers

AppleScript syntax do shell scripts

Hi guys,

i am having endless issues with the syntax of the following applescript. Please help me and i'll make you my new god, cheers. The

applescript syntax is:

tell application "Finder"

  display dialog ¬

                    "Select Output Source" buttons {"Computer", "TV"} default button "TV"

          set InternalSpeakers to (do shell script "cd ~/Downloads/SwitchAudioSource-v1; ./SwitchAudioSource -s 'Built-in Output'")

  --InternalSpeakers is now a variable which changes the sound output to Computer

          set HDMI to (do shell script "cd ~/Downloads/SwitchAudioSource-v1; ./SwitchAudioSource -s 'Soundflower (16ch)'")

  --InternalSpeakers is now a variable which changes the sound output to TV

          if button returned of result = "Computer" then InternalSpeakers

          if button returned of result = "Computer" then HDMI

end tell

at the moment i am getting the following error:

I have tried arranging and re-arranging the applescript to no avail, please help me

Re: AppleScript syntax do shell scripts

You're over complicating the situation. This

 

set InternalSpeakers to (do shell script "cd ~/Downloads/SwitchAudioSource-v1; ./SwitchAudioSource -s 'Built-in Output'")

  --InternalSpeakers is now a variable which changes the sound output to Computer

 

sets InternalSpeakers to what the do shell script returns. It does not set InternalSpeakers to hold the do shell script command to run when you access the variable. There are ways to do this but its not needed here. Just do thsi as a simple if then else

 

display dialog ¬

                    "Select Output Source" buttons {"Computer", "TV"} default button "TV"

 

if button returned of result = "Computer" then

     do shell script "cd ~/Downloads/SwitchAudioSource-v1; ./SwitchAudioSource -s 'Built-in Output'"

 

 

else    if button returned of result = "TV" then

    do shell script "cd ~/Downloads/SwitchAudioSource-v1; ./SwitchAudioSource -s 'Soundflower (16ch)'"

 

 

end if

 

Something like this will work.  Also there is no reason for the code you show to do it in a tell block. The Finder isn;t needed for this.
