使用 applescript 在特定工作表上的 iWork 数字中创建新表格

Question

我在使用 Applescript 在特定工作表上创建新表时遇到问题，除非我想要插入新表的工作表是新的或当前选择的。 我正在使用的代码的一般形式是：

    tell application "Numbers"
    tell document 1
    tell sheet "This is the sheet I want to use"
    make new table with properties {name:"A new table"}
    end tell 
    end tell 
    end tell

有没有人在实现这一目标方面取得了更多成功？ 在我看来，这对于 Numbers 中的某些高级电子表格脚本来说有点问题。

好的。 我的第一个答案被接受并且无法删除，但还不够，所以我决定编辑它并添加一些确实解决问题的代码！

该代码由 Yvan Koenig 提供，归功于 Nigel Garvey。 两者都在 applescript-users 列表 上活跃，顺便说一句，这非常好，尤其是因为这两位先生以及许多其他伟大的 AppleScripters 的活动。

它依赖于 GUI 脚本（不得不依赖这总是一件可怕的事情，但这就是我们所拥有的）。

对 my activateGUIscripting() 的调用可能会导致出现输入管理员密码的提示。 如果您绝对知道已启用 GUI 脚本（系统首选项 -> 通用访问 -> 启用辅助设备访问） - 那么您可以省略此行。

接下来的两行只是示例调用，因此您需要一个名为“Sheet 1”的工作表才能使这些示例调用正常工作。

这将允许您在任何文档的任何工作表中创建表格，无论选择什么或最前面的内容。

--EXAMPLE CALLS
my activateGUIscripting()
my selectsheet(1, "Sheet 1")
my createNewTable(1, "Sheet 1", "myNewTable", 69, 13)

--NUMBERS UTILS
on createNewTable(dName, sName, newTable, nb_rows, nb_columns)
    tell application "Numbers" to tell document dName to tell sheet sName
        make new table with properties {name:newTable, row count:nb_rows, column count:nb_columns}
    end tell
end createNewTable

on activateGUIscripting()
    (* to be sure than GUI scripting will be active *)
    tell application "System Events"
        if not (UI elements enabled) then set (UI elements enabled) to true
    end tell
end activateGUIscripting
