Description
The whose and where reserved
words represent the Filter reference forms. These reference styles
allow the scripter to select objects based on characteristics that
can be tested with a where or
whose reserved word. To use
where or whose, the statement
first refers to an object such as a document file, disk, database
record, or image file, which is followed by where
or whose, and then a boolean expression. As the
following examples indicate, you can create Structured Query Language
(SQL)-type where statements that narrow the number
of objects returned from a statement based on certain criteria.
Examples
get files where (creator type is not "MSWD") (* targeting the Finder, returns only files that are not Microsoft Word files *) get disks whose name is not (get name of startup disk) (* targeting the Finder, returns disks other than the startup disk *)
