AppleScript: How to Get a List of Macros in a Macro Group without the KM Editor Being Activated?

[martin]

Thanks. JXA is over my head. I only learned some JS.
I can get the XML file in AppleScript from here:

Show Macro Group %variable% for One Action?

Hey Alain, I believe there is no method of going from macro NAME to macro UUID. The only token I’m aware of is MacroNameForUUID, so you can go the other direction. I believe your primary need is the UUID of macro and group, but I have only run a very few tests using macro plists. Perhaps you should post some pseudocode to show what you’re trying to do. Oh, you can parse the whole Keyboard Maestro macro list by getting it with AppleScript and then using KM’s regular expressions to search. (…

But I don't know how to move forward.
I did some search and saw AppleScript can do XML search. But I have not made a successful attempt yet.
A regex search might also serve my need. It'll involve sed in shell script. I'm a novice to all of them. Dan's JXA example is excellent. I have not found a similar example in AppleScript.
