Question

I want to take the return value of the function getProjectTag().

tell application "TaskPaper"
    tell front document
        repeat with the_entry in entries
            -- For each entry, get the data from TaskPaper

            tell the_entry
                set project_name to getProjectTag(the_entry)

I get the error:

TaskPaper got an error: item 26 of every entry of document 1 doesn’t
understand the getProjectTag message.” number -1708 from item 26 of every entry of document 1

However, when I replace:

set project_name to getProjectTag(the_entry)

with:

display dialogue my getProjectTag(the_entry)

it shows me a dialogue of the correct return value — so the function is working correctly.

Answer 1

Stupid me:

set project_name to my getProjectTag(the_entry)

fixes the problem.

I wasn’t aware of what my did.
