AppleScripts for Basic Printing
 The Mac 512 K, the first in the Macintosh series of computers The first script below is for printing a document in “TextEdit”. Before running the script, you must bring the desired document to the front:
tell application "TextEdit"
print the front document with properties {copies:2, collating:true, starting page:1, ending page:1, pages across:1, pages down:1, error handling:standard} without print dialog
end tell
Most of what appears in ‘with properties {….}’ above should be fairly obvious. If you want to specify the printer, you could follow the last parameter in the list with a comma and ‘target printer:’ and the actual name of the desired printer enclosed in quotes.
If you want to use different printers in certain cases, replace ‘without print dialog’ with ‘with print dialog’
This second script, so that you aren’t required to specify the application file targeted by the print command:
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
set the current printer to printer "Deskjet D2400 series"
(alias "Macintosh HD:Users:administrator:Documents:My Document.cwk")
end tell
Replace ‘Deskjet D2400 series’ with the name of your printer and replace ‘(alias “Macintosh HD:Users:administrator:Documents:My Document.cwk”)’ with the path to the document that you wish to print (Don’t forget to precede the path name by ‘alias’ – this is important).
The print command is part of the ‘Standard Suite’ of the Finder’s Dictionary, and so, in my next post, We will look at the remaining commands that make up the Standard Suite (there are 3).

  iPhoto 6 Create Multiple Folders with Terminal
If you are more of a techy kind of person and are comfortable with using Terminal, here is a script you can use to easily create multiple folders:
First, for a single folder, type in: mkdir "Folder 1"
--or whatever you want to name your folder, this creates a new directory, which, in effect is a new folder.
To place multiple items in the 'Documents' folder:
cd/Users/
Administrator/
Documents
mkdir "Folder 1" "Folder 2"
"Folder 3"
To quickly create multiple folders, create a text file with the desired folder names (as many as you want) and name it something like 'folderList.txt'. Next type this in Terminal:
cat folderList.txt |xargs mkdir
Or you could create folders with the same prefix by entering:
mkdir "Invoices " {"Corporate", "Individual", "Pro-Bono"}
Digg This!! An AppleScript to Verify a Date Run this in the Script Editor:

set datetext to apptDate as text
date apptDate --if an invalid date is entered, the next dialog is aborted and it triggers the error alert below.
display dialog datetext & " is a valid date." with icon note buttons {"OK"} default button {"OK"}
on error
set alertText to "An error has occurred!"
set messageText to quote & datetext & quote & " is an invalid date."
display alert alertText message messageText as warning buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" giving up after 15
return

HyperCard AppleScript Users:
Heres an AppleScript for backing up a selected group of HyperCard files. this was used in one of my HyperCard stacks, but could be adapted for use in OSX programs with little or no modification:
send "suiteBkp(true)" to bg btn "BackupSuite"
--Use this line to call the handler below (true displays a notification dialog when the process is complete, you must have a button named bg btn "BackupSuite"):
on suiteBkp(theBoolean)
copy line 1 of field "selectedFolder" to theHFFolderPath --You'll need a hidden field named "selectedFolder" that a script (prior to the call) will place the path to the desired folder in.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set todaysDate to (current date)
set bkpYear to (year of todaysDate)
set monthlyBkp to ("Monthly Reports_" & bkpYear) as string

select folder "HyperCard Backup"
delete selection
end if
if exists (folder "HyperCard Backup" of folder theHFFolderPath) then
select folder "HyperCard Backup" of folder theHFFolderPath
delete selection
end if
make new folder at folder theHFFolderPath with properties {name:"HyperCard Backup"}
select {file "Appointments" of folder theHFFolderPath, ¬ file "HyperFile" of folder theHFFolderPath, ¬ file "Outstanding Invoices" of folder theHFFolderPath, ¬ file "Year" of folder theHFFolderPath, ¬ file monthlyBkp of folder theHFFolderPath, ¬

 Macintosh Plus (late 1984), followed close behind the Mac 512k
 The classic Apple IIc (1981), part of a series of Apple computers that preceded the debut of the Macintosh HyperCard Users Corner:
Here's a simple, but very useful little HyperTalk script for verifying the validity of a date entered by a user, assuming that you have a menu item "flag date..." (or whatever you choose to name it) or it could be altered slightly and placed within a mouseUp statement:
if menuItem = "Flag Date..." then
global tryDate
ask "Enter a date for your new appointment:" with the long date
if it ≠ "" and the result ≠ "Cancel" then
put it into tryDate
else
put "" into tryDate
exit doMenu
end if
if invalidDate() then
answer "The date entered is not valid!"
put "" into tryDate
exit doMenu
end if
--Here you would put the statements to execute if the entered date proves to be valid
put "" into tryDate
end if
function invalidDate
global tryDate
convert tryDate to short date
if the result = "invalid date" then
return true
else
return false
end if
end invalidDate

  Mac SE (circa 1987), was a more advanced version of the Mac Plus and had an internal hard drive. YouTube Video Search Script:

open location "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=" & webSearch
