Get a return value from app.DoScript() ?

[partswiz]

Is there a way to get a value back?

[D¡rk Becker]

This works for me:

alert(app.doScript("1"));

In other words - the doScript result is the last evaluated expression, or the return value if that is a function invokation.

Yep same here…

var appScr = 'return \"This String…\"'; alert(app.doScript(appScr, ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE));

As per my understanding for your need, you can not directly return any value, But still you can full fill your need by declaring a variable before calling another script using app.doScript and pass this variable and in another file store result in that variable and when execution of script finishes you can get that result through that variable.

Unfortunately, passing of variables only works for doScript calls outside any function. But at least on Mac platform, text returned from an AppleScript is forwarded by doScript, as suggested by the previous answers.
