It's not Shakespeare, but bear with me. I'm trying to wrap my head around Applescript a little better by hooking up a folder script that will take an rtf file from Final Draft and crank out a blog entry. Why? Well, just because I can. Or rather, because I might be able to. Turns out parsing rtf files is trickier than it initially appeared, and even this sad little entry took a fair amount of massaging. So, back to the drawing boards...
INT. dining room, night
It’s mostly quiet in the house, except for the sounds of MANDY chewing on pellets in the corner. JASON is sitting at the dining room table with a PowerBook on his lap.
Stuart
Meow?
Jason
Hey man-- whatcha doing?
STUART
Meow!
JASON
Ok, hang on. I'm working on an applescript.
STUART
Meow!
JASON
Yeah, I know. It'll just take a second.
Stuart begins frantically pawing at Jason’s leg. He looks like he’s trying to dogpaddle denim.
STUART
Meow!!!
JASON
Okay, okay! What do you need, little man?
