AppleScript for retrieving URLs from Sherlock hits

[chemistry_geek]

I've been wondering for a while now if Sherlock could just dump all the URLs it finds into a text file after I've given the search criteria. Well, I was reading over at http://www.macosxhints.com and found that Apple provides some interesting AppleScripts that can be quite useful. If you go to this path in your computer /Library/Scripts/Sherlock\ Scripts/Search\ Internet.scpt, the script there will dump all the URLs that Sherlock finds into a little window. Just copy and paste the text into a text editor, save and sift through it later if you're pressed for time.

This is too cool. I never really considered looking through the AppleScripts folder because I didn't think there were any scripts there that were applicable for my uses. Now if there was a website that had only AppleScripts for download that were useful.

weird... on my machine library/scripts is empty ...

The path is not the one inside your user folder, it's the path at the level of the computer.

[YOUR COMPUTER HARD DRIVE]/Library/Scripts/Sherlock\ Scripts/Search\ Internet.scpt

For example, mine is:
/Mac\ OS\ X/Library/Scripts/Sherlock\ Scripts/Search\ Internet.scpt

it's still empty. very strange. do you have the dev tools installed? maybe there's a connection there ... ?

I did install the dev tools a long time ago, so they are not the current dev tools. I have them downloaded, just not installed yet.
