open for access newFile with write permission
-- if you want to overwrite an existing file use set eof of newFile to 0 first.

set fileContents to (read theFile)
close access theFile

--example 2

it ‚call method‘ ist es mit AppleScript möglich auf Cocoa Methoden zuzugreifen. Der direkte Zugriff war aus eine AS Studio Projekt möglich. Einfache AppleScripts können diese nur über einen kleinen Umweg mit ‚Automator‘ bewerkstelligen.

Trotz dem Ende von AS Studio mit AppleScriptObjC will ich einige Beispiele hier auflisten. Mit ASOC sind die Möglichkeiten natürlich noch umfangreicher um auf Cocoa Klassen zuzugreifen.
