Read tasks of "search term" result?
I'm trying to search for a particular string in a task name and then edit this task.
I can search for the task containing "xyz" with this code: [CODE] set searchstring to "xyz" tell application "OmniFocus" tell front document tell document window 1 set search term to searchstring end tell end tell end tell [/CODE] But then I do not know how to access the task that was found in the tree. How can I solve this. Does anyone have a hint how to access the task? Thanks Deborah |

Here is an illustrative function [B]ObjectsFound([I]SearchString[/I])[/B], and an example of its use. [CODE]property pSearchString : "xyz" -- Returns leaves of content matched by search string on ObjectsFound(strSearch) tell application "OmniFocus" tell default document set lstWins to document windows if (count of lstWins) > 0 then set oWin to first item of lstWins else set oWin to make new window end if tell oWin set search term to strSearch return leaves of content end tell end tell end tell end ObjectsFound -- EXAMPLE: using ObjectsFound() function to process matching leaves of the content tree on run using terms from application "OmniFocus" set strList to "" -- get the matching leaves of the content tree set lstLeaves to my ObjectsFound(pSearchString) -- loop through the leaves and do something with their values repeat with oLeaf in lstLeaves set oValue to value of oLeaf tell oValue set cClass to class if cClass is project then set strList to strList & "Project: " & name & return else if cClass is task then set strList to strList & "Task: " & name & return else if cClass is inbox task then set strList to strList & "Inbox Task: " & name & return else -- other class set strList to strList & "???: " & name & return end if end tell end repeat if length of strList > 0 then display dialog strList else display dialog pSearchString & " not found" end if end using terms from end run [/CODE] |
