从 Ruby、PHP 或 Cocoa 访问 Mac 应用程序 [英] Accessing Mac applications from Ruby or PHP or Cocoa

问题描述

我想从最好的 Ruby 访问几个不同的 Mac OS X 应用程序，但我会满足于 PHP.这些应用程序是 Elgato 的 turbo.264 和 Apple 的 iTunes.两者都定义了 Applescript 库，允许我从 Applescript 做我想做的事情，但我不想在 Applescript 中这样做.如果我不能在 Ruby 或 PHP 中做到这一点，也许我可以在目标 C/Cocoa 中做到这一点，并创建某种我可以从 Ruby 调用的包装器.

I would like to access a couple of different Mac OS X applications from preferably Ruby, but I would settle for PHP. The applications are Elgato's turbo.264 and Apple's iTunes. Both have Applescript Libraries defined that would allow me to do what I want to do from Applescript, but I don't want to do this in Applescript. If I can't do this in Ruby or PHP, perhaps I can do it in objective C / Cocoa and create some kind of wrapper that I could call from Ruby.

这甚至可能吗?似乎如果这些方法在 Applescript 中可用，它们应该在其他语言中可用，我只是找不到任何东西.

Is this even possible? It seems like if the methods are available in Applescript they should be available in other languages, I have just not been able to find anything.

推荐答案

尝试 RubyOSA (http://rubyosa.rubyforge.org) 然后你可以这样做:

Try RubyOSA (http://rubyosa.rubyforge.org) and then you can do this:

require 'rbosa'
itunes = OSA.app('iTunes')

track = itunes.current_track
p track                     # <OSA::Itunes::FileTrack:0x1495e20>
p track.name                # "Over The Rainbow" 
p track.artist              # "Keith Jarrett" 
p track.duration            # 362.368988037109 
p track.date_added.to_s     # "2006-06-30" 
p track.enabled?            # true

# Play the selected track.
itunes.play                    

# Fade the volume.
100.times { |i| itunes.sound_volume = i; sleep 0.1 }  

# Set iChat's status message to the current track.
OSA.app('iChat').status_message = "Playing: #{track.name}"

您可以与任何支持 AppleScript 的 Mac OS X 应用对话

You can talk to any Mac OS X app that supports AppleScript
