applescript - repeat if exists document x

[BNig]

Hi Jim,

try:

tell application "Keynote"
	set docsPathes to the path of every slideshow
	set PathOutput to ""
	repeat with echItm in docsPathes
		set PathOutput to PathOutput & echItm & return as string
	end repeat
        -- take out the last return
	set PathOutput to characters 1 through -2 of PathOutput as string
	return PathOutput
end tell

a return delimited list of the pathes, if a slideshow is open which is not
saved yet it returns missing value. on system 10.5.6 it returns the posix
form of the pathes (/xxx/xxx), older versions might return the mac-style
(xxx:xxx)
To return mulitple lists to Rev you can concatenate them into one list and
take them apart on the rev side or do multiple applescript calls.

about the Sainthood thing, well didnt they all get killed before they
reached that state? :)
In that case lets wait a little.

regards
Bernd
