Hi, I´m trying to make a automator action that jumps one line down, then copys the whole line to the clipboard and the clipboard is pasted into another application. The whole action is meant to loop through textfiles about 1000 lines.

The problem for me has been the jump one line down part. Recording didn´t work, so I´ve been trying to write an applescript. But I haven't figured out how to jump one line down there either.

Does anyone see a solution?

Thanks!

Hello and welcome.

I am not very experienced with Automator and AppleScript. You may get a better answer faster over at MacScripter.

Hope that helps,
