Hi,
I am wondering how to determine what variables in a Dt record are accessible from AppleScript. When I export to OmniOutliner format, for example, I can get the comment field, a URL, name, text content as a note, dates. I was wondering if elements such as values in the concordance (i.e. this record refers to “tiger” 50 times) are also available. Ideally I would like to export some of the elements into Excel for further manipulation. Thanks!!

These are the properities I found for records in the dictionary. I am assuming that they cover all the variables available from AppleScript:

AppleScript does not (yet) support the concordance. But probably this will work (I don’t use Excel so I don’t know 
):
