Applescript+Cocoa URL source stealing mania!

[Coin]

I + My friend are writing a program with Applescript and Cocoa.
here is what happens
applescript calls a method with a parameter/argument that contains a URL

my cocoa program takes the URL loads it into a webview and gets the source code, then sends that back in a string varible

my cocoa program has control over one inteface object. a webView for loading the url then retriving the source

here is what i have so far.. its a mess

appControl.h


/* appControl */

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface appControl : NSObject
{
IBOutlet id webView;
}

- (NSString *)Source;

- (void)getCode;
- (IBAction)loadCodeFromURL:(NSString)inString;
@end



appControl.m

#import "appControl.h"
#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>
#import <WebKit/WebView.h>
#import <WebKit/WebDocument.h>

@implementation NSApplication (ASKAFullScreen)

- (void)getCodeh
{
}


- (IBAction)loadCodeFromURL:(NSString *)inString
{


NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:inString];

[webView setFrameLoadDelegate:self];

WebFrame *mainFrame = [webView mainFrame];

[mainFrame loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL]];



WebFrame *mainFrame = [webView mainFrame];

id documentRepresentation = [[mainFrame dataSource] representation];

if ([documentRepresentation canProvideDocumentSource]){
[out setStringValue: [documentRepresentation documentSource]];
}
else {
// NSRunAlertPanel(@"Wait", @"Page not done loading", @"Ok", nil, nil);
}
}

- (NSString *)Source
{
return @"Test";
}

-(void)dealloc
{
[super dealloc];
}


@end


i really dont know how to do any of this...

grammars fixed?

So what's the question? Does what you have work?

[Coin]

The question is how should i do this...

it is going to reqire only ONE method so it can return a value back to applescript but its also going to require a delagate method that fires when the webView finishes loading. so im lost....

[Duane]

not exactly answering your question, but couldn't you just get the source by saying...
NSString *source = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]]; where urlString is the url?

[Coin]

I dont see that in my code....

what we did before was have applescript push a button that used cocoa to load a webview

then it pushed a button that got the source of the web view if it failed it tried again

it repeated until it got the source code

and that works but its horribly innefficient

[Duane]

I don't know much about applescript, but to get the source, you would do the section of code mentioned above.

Wait


i thouhgt you said you COULDNT get it just by doing that, and that was how i got it before... misread what you said......thanks taht makes it a jilliontimes easier
