What can I do with bBox?
- run Perl, PHP, AppleScript, shell, Python and Ruby scripts
- extract email or phone numbers from text
- check if a file is present
- strip duplicate values from a return-delimited list
- present a dialog asking user to select a file or choose from a list of values
- determine if a needed type of data is in the clipboard
- execute a command requiring admin authentication
- schedule execution of scripts down to the millisecond
- and more!
Included in the download is an extensive demo file showing these techniques and more.
