Hi,
Calling a macperl script (dog) from AS, with arguments a, b c, would read:
tell perl to do script {dog, a, b, c}
Assuming that a, b, c are strings, they are copied to @ARGV in dog.
The problem I have is passing a list of arguments, e.g.
set names to selection -- nb of selected objects not predictable
tell perl to do script {dog, names} -- names conversion fails
Then I can converts names to a list of strings:
set snames to {}
repeat with nam in names
set snames to snames & (nam as text)
end repeat
tell perl to do script {dog, snames} -- dog is called, @ARGV is empty
dog could be:
$\ = "\n"; # print with EOL
print "nb args: ", scalar @ARGV;
$" = "\n"; # separator
print "@ARGV";
Could anyone suggest a way around ?
Thanks
