I have applescript that does something on these lines:
using terms from application "Quicksilver"
on open theseitems
repeat with aitem in theseitems
display dialog aitem as text
end repeat
end open
end using terms from
But what I would like to do is run a specific file applescript.scptthrough the terminal and pass in a variable, such as the path to the file.
osascript ~/applescript.scpt /path/to/my/file.txt
and then run Applescript with access to this parameter. In this case, he (hopefully) displays a dialog with this path,/path/to/my/file.txt
I know that I could achieve this by doing something like
osascript -e "display dialog "~/path/to/file.txt"
But the point is not to display a dialog with Applescript, but rather as to whether I can pass the variable to the script file.
