Interesting suggestions on the temp file though, I may see if I can just inject a plist value and use that and then remove it. Since I'm already using a plist anyway, would keep it clean. | |

Choose a single style and carry it throughout the coding of the script. That's not to say there are not exceptions, however choosing a single style and being consistent makes the code easier to read and maintain. | |

If I was doing something such as this for myself, I would simply write the contents of "code" to a temporary text file then use osacompile to create the AppleScript application bundle and then delete the temporary text file. Doing it in this manner you should not have do deal with the single-quotes passed in a variable.
