help with preflight script
I'm trying to make a preflight script to determine the best install location for my software. So far, the script finds all possible locations and stores them in an array (it's a bash script, BTW). Now what I need to do is prompt the user to choose from the list that's been assembled and then assign the selection to the correct variable. I'm assuming that will require osascript, but that's where I get lost. I know barely anything about Applescript, so I could use some help here:
Code:
osascript <<-EOF
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "Choose an install location: ...
# insert code
i=0
for file in ${list[@]}; do
echo ${list[i]}
let i++
done
# end code
... " default answer "1" buttons {"Continue"} default button 1
end tell
EOF
1) Some working osascript code, and 2) How I would capture the user's selection and interpret it?

in your script
cat (contents of array) echo "Make a selection :\c" read selection read will asign the location they type to call it back, to do somthing with it use $selection say you wanna save it in an external file within the script file=$/usr/yourname/newfilename echo "$selection" >> $file btw this is bash... not sure if it will work but figured i mention it
