Keyword conversion
Because application terminology resources specify AppleScript-style keywords for class, property, command, etc. names, appscript uses the following rules to translate these keywords to legal Ruby identifiers:
- Characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and underscores (_) are preserved.
- Spaces, hyphens (-) and forward slashes (/) are replaced with underscores.
- Ampersands (&) are replaced by the word 'and'.
- All other characters are converted to 0x00-style hexadecimal representations.
- Names that begin with '_' or 'AS_' have an underscore appended.
- Names that match the methods already defined on appscript's Application and Reference classes have an underscore appended. The reserved method names are:
