Questions & Suggestions

Hello all.

I'm looking for a simple Apple Script to use with Hazel that looks at the Company Name in the summary box of a microsoft word document and then tags the document with the name of the company. I have 22,000 documents to sort from lots of different companies and it would help if I could initially tag each one with the name of the company it relates to. Thanks very much for your help.

Hi Mark! Welcome to the forum. Generally you probably want to ask Hazel questions on the Hazel forum which you can find at https://www.noodlesoft.com/forums/ … but since we’re already here…

The bad news is that I don’t know how to do this with AppleScript.

The good news is that I do know how to do it with a shell script. I wrote one for this which you can find here:

Note that the script does require that you install tag which can be installed using:

  • brew via brew install tag
    (or)
  • MacPorts via sudo port install tag

The GitHub repo also explains how to set it up with Hazel.
