Scripting Question

Targets macOS
1

Not sure if XojoScript is still being supported, but I’d like to use scripting to automate builds, move files, create folders, and so on. On OS X, what would you all recommend? AppleScript?

If you all do have a recommendation, please point me to any documentation.

Thanks!
Ken

if the script is to be run during the build process. use XojoScript. Outside of the IDE, you can use whatever.

Thanks, Scott. Is there any documentation for XojoScript around? Can’t seem to locate it.

XojoScript is still supported in 32 bit builds. 64 bit builds it is not available yet.

I’m not a XojoScript user so I can’t help you out with documentation. You might check www.rblibrary.com and www.xdevmag.com for articles.

XojoScript works very well.
I use it heavily in my build process for the plugins.

It’s great to add scripting to your app, allow kind of plugins or users to automate.

And 64-bit support will come eventually as Xojo Inc. needs it themselves.

What you’re looking for is IDE scripting to script the IDE to do these things
