Should be simple:

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘appscript’  
include Appscript  
urlFront = app(‘Safari’).documents[1].url.get  
puts urlFront

but doesn’t work. In place of documents, I’ve tried window(s) too.

Thanks

ruby is case sensitive, so is applescript. You probably also want 0,  
not 1.

The following worked for me.

`
require 'appscript'
include Appscript
require "jcode"
$KCODE = “UTF8”
url_1 = app(‘Safari’).documents[1].URL.get
puts url_1
`

Note that I used ‘URL’ not ‘url’.
