Hi,

can anyone please explain me how i can pass a variable from an embedded applescript to Hazel!?

From Hazel to Applescript i use

Code: Select all

set theDate to item 1 of inputAttributes

which works perfect.

But from Applescript to Hazel i tried the following ones

Code: Select all

set outputAttributes to {"02.02.2000"}
set customAttributes to {"02.02.2000"}
set hazelOutputAttributes to {"02.02.2000"}
set hazelCustomAttributes to {"02.02.2000"}

Surely i add the name of the custom Attribute this script exports, but nothing works.

Can anyone please give me an advice.

Thanx in advance.

Search the help for "applescript". You need to return a record, not just set the variables.

Hi again,

OK - understood. No more lists but records.

But it tried every keyword again, like

Code: Select all

set hazeloutputAttributes to {myNewDate:"02.02.2002"}

Can you please give me an quick and dirty example!?

Kind Regards
Thomas

You need to return a record as follows:

Code: Select all

    return { hazelOutputAttributes : {"02.02.2000"} }


That returns a record with the hazelOutputAttributes key and a value of a list with one item. In the UI, you need to specify the attribute which will contain that value and can be used in the rest of the rule.

Mr. Noodle you are my hero!

Thank you for your great and quick support! Now it works as it should.

Kind regards
Thomas
