mse Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I have a very limited experience with AppleScript and need your help. In my (chemical) Compounds.fp7 file, I have a FM script which copies the content of a container field, Structure (picture), and calls, via AppleScript, another app, CS ChemDraw Ultra, to perform calculations on the Structure. The result of the calculation (e.g. Molecular Formula in the example below) returns into an another field (MolFormula) of Compounds.fp7. For example, if the Structure field contains benzene structure (a sort of hexagon, you remember?), the MolFormula field will be populated with "C6H6" etc. tell application "CS ChemDraw Ultra" activate open file "Macintosh HD:Users:mse:Documents:FileMaker:Matrix2:Template" if enabled of menu item "Paste" then do menu item "Paste" set theMolformula to Molecular Formula of selection end if quit saving no end tell tell application "FileMaker Developer" activate set cell "MolFormula" of current record to theMolformula end tell CS ChemDraw Ultra can also generate correct chemical name from structure (menu item "Convert Structure to Name"). However, in this case the situation is different: to generate names CS ChemDraw Ultra calls an external modul (so, - do menu item "Convert Structure to Name" - is inevitable) and the result returned is the structure and its name selected together. By clicking ChemDraw window outside the selection, it is possible to separate them manually to the structure and the text. The text can next be selected and transfered to FMP file. Question: Is it possible to script this process of separation/selection? With a tiny hope for success, I am attaching for your kind attention the CS ChemDraw Ultra (AppleScript) Dictionary. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
