A computer software package, developed for the
Mac OS, to serve as a
macro scripting language.
This package comes with a
Control Panel and
Extension which allow the user to write short (or very complex) scripts to interact with the
operating system and its applications.
Unintended, this program caught on to what you might call the "
Macintosh hacking community" on
AOL, and the terms "
OC" and "
scripting" became a very popular front.
To show you the ease of these
OneClick scripts, here's a small example:
Variable Foo Times
foo = AskText("What do you want your message to be?")
times = AskText("How many times do you want it displayed?")
If (Foo = "") OR (Times = "")
Message "You need to enter a value!"
else
For Count = 1 To Times
Message foo
End For
End If
As you can see,
variable types don't need to be defined, just named. The
syntax is also very loose, as commas and parenthesis aren't neccessary in areas like a "
For Statement".
Since the
Macintosh days of
AOL, the
OneClick craze has somewhat died off. There hasn't been a new release in about 2 years, and I only find myself using it to manipulate text on the
clipboard.
