Hi there l need some help with Textexpander. I am trying to do the following .. its just an example : -- all scripts are set to Applescript -- script 1 * abbreviation = test1 set name to "%snippet:xn%" ( pop up with different names) set combo to "Hi "&name&", how are you doing? Have you read the latest Superman comic? %snippet:test2% " return combo ******** script 2 * abbreviation = test2 set name to "%snippet:xn%" if name is equal to "Max" then set Text1 to "%snippet:xasp%" (xasp = just a paragraph if name is equal to "Jane" then set Text1 to "%snippet:xcsp%"(xcsp = just a paragraph) set result to ((Text1)) return result end *** the error l am getting is ** l type test1 i see: Hi Max, how are you doing? Have you read the latest Superman comic? *** whats missing is the test that is linked to " Max" in snippet test2 ** the only problem l can think of is that its not reading what name is set in snippet test1 please help regards Gotty
