Default Re: Automation AppleScripts for Pro Tools (Mac)

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for the in depth and an educational thread! your discussions with Marco and other members have really opened up a door in making script work with ProTools.

Anyway, I'm struggling a bit with creating a simple delete clips script that will do the following:

...After selecting a track in Protools and pressing F13

1-The script will prompt the user to input the start location (timecode, feet+frames etc...) and end location in the same format.
2-Then it will begin deleting only up until the end location specified by the user.
3 (optional) It will ask to go down a track and proceed as it was until the user requests no.

My struggle basically is, how do I get the real time information displayed on the counters translated into something useful I can enter as a value and have the script obey it.

Would UI Browser be of any help? I've seen it mentioned before, but have not used it.

Obrigado
