Can someone show me how to pass a variable into an Applescript using osascript in python? I've seen some documentation/samples on doing this but I'm not understanding it at all.
Here is my python code:
# I want to pass this value into my apple script below
myPythonVariable = 10
cmd = """
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
set activeApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true
if "MyApp" is in activeApp then
set stepCount to myPythonVariableIPassIn
repeat with i from 1 to stepCount
DoStuff...
end repeat
end if
end tell
'
"""
os.system(cmd)
解决方案
String concatenation with the + operator
myPythonVariable = 10
cmd = """
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
set activeApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true
if "MyApp" is in activeApp then
set stepCount to """ + str(myPythonVariable) + """
repeat with i from 1 to stepCount
-- do something
end repeat
end if
end tell
'
"""
Or, string formatting with the {} :
myPythonVariable = 10
cmd = """
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
set activeApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true
if "MyApp" is in activeApp then
set stepCount to {0}
repeat with i from 1 to stepCount
-- do something
end repeat
end if
end tell
'
""".format(myPythonVariable)
{0} is the place-holder for the first variable, {1} is the place-holder for the second variable, ....
For multiple variables:
.format(myPythonVariable, var2, var3)
Or, string formatting with the %s operator
myPythonVariable = 10
cmd = """
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
set activeApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true
if "MyApp" is in activeApp then
set stepCount to %s
repeat with i from 1 to stepCount
-- do something
end repeat
end if
end tell
'
""" % myPythonVariable
For multiple variables:
% (myPythonVariable, var2, var3)
