Perform Action: Terminal/Applescript examples?

[jordikt]

@FlorianBome

How can I trigger Perform actions using the command line from Applescript or Terminal?

The command /triggerPerform ‘perform name’ is always giving error messages.

Can you post some example, please?

Thanks!

Hi,

Triggering with AppleScript is not currently supported.

Here is an example using Terminal:

open -n -a "Bome MIDI Translator Pro" --args -triggerPerform "Test,1,2,3"

or

"/Applications/Bome MIDI Translator Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/MIDITranslatorPro" -triggerPerform "Test,1,2,3"

Here is the test project I used.

Thanks a lot Steve !!

I have post a tutorial for trigger Perform and Timers using Terminal and Applescript. I think it will be useful for other users.

Tutorial: trigger Perform and Timer actions using Terminal and AppleScript

First of all, Thanks to @SteveC for helping me with command line in Terminal. I will use ‘Z Perform Action 1’ as the Incoming Perform name and ‘Z Timer’ as the Incoming Timer name for the examples of this post. For sending parameters to the Incoming Perform action, you must add values or variables separated by commas after the name. As example, “Z Perform Action 1,8,gm” will trigger ‘Z Perform Action 1’ with 2 parameters (8 and the value of the variable gm). TERMINAL You can trigger Perform…

Thanks again!!!
