There is an article on O’Reilly’s MacDevCenter about rb-appscript
a way to use Ruby as a front-end to interact via AppleEvents with
applications.
There is a dmg to install everything. It’s a pprt from Python so
the examples are in Python syntax.
There is an article on O’Reilly’s MacDevCenter about rb-appscript
a way to use Ruby as a front-end to interact via AppleEvents with

There is a dmg to install everything. It’s a pprt from Python so
the examples are in Python syntax.
However, the only example Ruby does not work.
You’re referring to the .dmg at <http://rubyforge.org/frs/?
group_id=2346&release_id=9094>, yes? That .dmg should include the
following:
‘README’ file
binary PPC and i386 .pkg installers for Apple-installed Ruby on
Tiger
an ‘rb-appscript-0.3.0’ folder containing the full source
distribution, including full documentation (the ‘doc’ sub-folder) and
over a dozen sample Ruby scripts (the ‘sample’ sub-folder).
While rb-appscript is a port of the original Python appscript, there
shouldn’t be any Pythonisms left in rb-appscript or on its website. If
I’ve missed any, please let me know exactly where and I’ll go fix 'em
ASAP.
