NNW subscriptions
So I wanted to see which of my NNW () subscriptions were dead. And I wanted to get the hang of AppleScript. Right.
set errorlog to ""
tell application "NetNewsWire"
repeat with check in subscriptions
set err to error string of check as string
if length of err > 1 then
set errorlog to errorlog & "Error for '" & ((display name of check) as string) & "' (" & (RSS URL of check as string) & "): '" & ((error string of check) as string) & "'r"
end if
end repeat
end tell
tell application "BBEdit"
make new text window with properties {contents:errorlog}
end tell
Pretty nifty. Course, you have to have BBEdit. But making it use TextEdit shouldn't be hard.
