So, the application I'm trying to script has a scripting definition file that includes a <contents> element, which is an "implicitly specified container."

The question, how do I get at what's inside this element using Scripting Bridge? Or alternatively, how do I send the Apple Event necessary to retrieve it and then transform what I get back into an SBObject?

I already tried:

[document nameOfKey]
document.nameofKey
[document contents]
document.contents

Not sure if this will help but I noticed that sometimes you have to use the keyword "get" in order to actually get something before you can access other parts of it. So I would try this...

[[document get] contents]
[[document contents] get]

etc. Note that "get" is an instance method of SBObject so you can find it in the docs.

  • Not quite, but you showed me the way. You can send the raw FourCharCode using SBObjects elementArrayWithCode, and you get back the contents array. So Yay. [document elementArrayWithCode:code] You have to look up the code in the raw SDF file, and create it as an int but it does work. – prater May 26 '10 at 14:41
