An Automator Action that executes F-Script http://www.fscript.org/, similar to the action that executes Applescript.

If there is an error executing the script in the Action while the Automator editor is open (i.e. during debugging), an error message is presented or an F-Script browser is presented.

Hi Doug,

I had a similar idea some time ago and I thought it was going to be complex to implement, but it turned out that it was quite trivial to assemble the action.

The basic interpreter is there and it binds the Automator's input to the input variable. To get the output, you just have to call an object (ex. input) or a method on a object that return one or more values (ex. input @reverse).

The error output doesn't work yet (it does crash when not launched from Xcode) and I don't think that it will be possible to display the F-Script console from an action in Automator. Anyway, the code is available on Launchpad and everybody is welcome to improve the code base.

Regards,

Dominique

Does this look good enough to start with?

Doug,

Are you happy with the basic functionality? Why not open up another contract for additional work, and accept this one?

Thanks,

Joshua
