Same "sel_description not defined" error here. Any suggestions what to do?

Thanks!

I'm getting an error too: "The variable sel_description is not defined."

This is an excellent, excellent idea, by the way.

Stan—that sounds like the sort of error AppleScript throws when it can’t get a selection. Check to make sure you have a newsfeed selected in NetNewsWire (and that the focus is on the subscription pane, not the headlines pane).

I installed the script, and running it, I keep getting a "Can't get every > of >."

I am using Devonthink Pro 2 and NeNewsWire 3

Hi Dan,

I recently adapted this (excellent) script to do Batch Archiving of feed items into Evernote and thought you might be interested: NNW to Evernote -- Batch Archiving

I also wrote a different script geared toward moving items one at a time -- geared towards filing stuff away while you're reading through your news items: NNW to Evernote -- Headline/Tab Archiving

Take a gander and, naturally, any suggestions or improvements would be appreciated.

Finally, I wanted to thank you for your work on the DEVON script. I've enjoyed reading through the code you wrote and, even more, getting my NNW stuff into DEVONThink properly with a minimum of effort. ;)

Kind Regards, Justin

Thank you very much for this handy applescript. Saves me a lot of time when archiving news-feeds.

Thanks for that awesome piece of code. I've made a little modification, to add the headline into the body of the HTML, in the feed archiving option.

set seldescription to "" & seltitle & "" & sel_description

I don't know hot to know the number of the line into the script, I just know I've placed it after the line containing this instruction "set sel_description to description of i".

Thanks!

Great script! Thanks! Good tip about the unread magazine articles, too – I have, um, several of those.
