AppleScript
AppleScript is Apple's native scripting technology. It enables users to directly control applications and parts of the Mac OS by creating English-like scripts. Developers can make applications scriptable--that is, capable of being called from and used within AppleScript scripts. Also, applications can execute scripts and send Apple events to take advantage of features of other scriptable applications. The Automator application provides a graphical interface for combining individual AppleScript-based actions to create an automated workflow. |
