如何使用 applescript 在 os x 中自定义通知

Question

假设我有一个文件 sometext.txt。我希望此 txt 文件的内容显示在我将使用 applescript 中的 displaynotification 触发的通知中。

换句话说，我希望能够：

display notification "File's content" with title "Title".

我该怎么做？假设 sometext.txt 和 applescript 文件在同一目录中。

Answer 1

假设文件的内容不超过 20 个字符。

Set theContents to read "/posix/path/to/your/file" as «class utf8»
display notification theContents with title "Title"

Answer 2

GOAL
To fire a notification with text from a file that resides in the same folder as this script.

NOTE
Before execution, save the script because when the script is unsaved, the composed path points to the „~/Library/Autosave Information/„ folder (the place where unsaved scripts are) or even to "/Applications/Utilities/" (where Script-Editor is).

USAGE
The script beeps (when 'errBeep' is true) if something was not 100% ok and displays the status in a notification.

when the text file isn't found the script asks for automatic creation.

if the text file is empty you get notified and it opens the file.

if the length of the text is greater as in allowedCharactersCount (default 65), some action can be performed before firing the notification.

(*  *** please customize the appropriate parts *** *)


-- ---------------------------------
-- BEEP when error
-- ---------------------------------
set errBeep to true
--set errBeep to false



-- ---------------------------------
-- file name & 
-- number of allowed characters:
-- ---------------------------------
set fileName to "messages.txt"
set allowedCharactersCount to 65



-- ---------------------------------
-- Notification title:
-- ---------------------------------
set notificationTitle to "From: " & fileName



-- ---------------------------------
-- END CUSTOMIZING
-- ---------------------------------





-- ---------------------------------
--  compose file path 
-- ---------------------------------
set filePath to my composeFilePath(fileName)
if filePath is "" then
    if errBeep then beep
    return
end if

-- ---------------------------------
--  check file existence ? 
-- ---------------------------------
set filePathExists to my fileExists(filePath)

if not filePathExists then

    -- ------------------------------------
    -- The file isn't there, ask the user if it should be created (and opened):
    -- ------------------------------------
    if errBeep then beep
    set message to "File " & quoted form of fileName & " at " & return & return & quoted form of filePath & return & return & "is missing."
    display dialog message buttons {"Create & Open", "Cancel"} cancel button 2 default button 2 giving up after 20 with title "Where is " & quoted form of fileName & "?" with icon 2
    if button returned of the result starts with "Create" then
        my readFromFile(filePath) -- this creates the file
        tell application "Finder" to open item filePath -- open for edit
    end if

    return -- we did what we could

end if



-- ---------------------------------------
-- Found the file, now read it:
-- ---------------------------------------

set textFromFile to my readFromFile(filePath)

if textFromFile is not "" then

    -- ---------------------------------------------------------
    -- Found content, we are ready to fire our notification
    -- ---------------------------------------------------------

    -- -----------------------------------
    --  • but first check length •
    -- -----------------------------------
    set countCharactersInTextFromFile to count characters in textFromFile -- count includes the "return" characters
    if (countCharactersInTextFromFile) is greater than allowedCharactersCount then

        -- -----------------------------------      
        -- • Length is NOT OK
        -- More characters as allowed. What to do ? Here, we just beep & change the message and title
        -- -----------------------------------      
        if errBeep then beep
        set notificationTitle to "ERROR: " & ((countCharactersInTextFromFile - allowedCharactersCount) as text) & " characters overflow"
        set notificationText to (countCharactersInTextFromFile as text) & " characters in textFromFile," & return & (allowedCharactersCount as text) & " characters are allowed."

    else

        -- -----------------------------------      
        -- • Length is OK • 
        -- -----------------------------------      
        set notificationText to textFromFile

    end if


    -- ---------------------------------------------------------
    -- Fire the notification 
    -- ---------------------------------------------------------

    display notification notificationText with title notificationTitle

    -- ---------------------------------------------------------


else

    -- ---------------------------------------------------------
    -- File is empty! Replace following lines with appropriate action:
    -- ---------------------------------------------------------
    if errBeep then beep
    display notification "*** NO TEXT IN THIS FILE ***" with title "ERROR: EMPTY FILE"
    tell application "Finder" to open item filePath -- open for edit

end if

        set fileData to read the open_sourceFile
        close access the open_sourceFile
        return fileData
    on error the error_message number the error_number
        try
            close access file sourceFile

        -- display dialog "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the error_message buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
        return ""
    end try
end readFromFile

这里是简短的版本：

set fileName to "messages.txt"
set filePath to my composeFilePath(fileName)

display notification my readFromFile(filePath) with title "From: " & fileName

on readFromFile(sourceFile)
    try
        set the sourceFile to the sourceFile as string
        set the open_sourceFile to open for access file sourceFile
        set fileData to read the open_sourceFile
        close access the open_sourceFile
        return fileData
    on error the error_message number the error_number
        try
            close access file sourceFile
        end try
        return ""
    end try
end readFromFile

on composeFilePath(fileName)
    if fileName is "" then return ""
    set pathToMe to path to me -- this is the full path to this script
    -- get the folder this script is in:
    set thisScriptsFolder to ""
    tell application "Finder"
        try
            set thisScriptsFolder to (get container of pathToMe) as text
        end try
    end tell
    if thisScriptsFolder is "" then
