Hi there
I know about DEVONthink’s Applescript command exists record with URL
. According to the DEVONthink dictionary it gives you the option to specify the database the check is done against.
How can I do in Applescript a check for a record with a given URL in a specific group? And is there a way to check for the existence of a record with a given URL in all (open) databases?
Many thanks for any pointers.

You can’t with that command. As noted in the dictionary, it works on a targeted or the current database.
And is there a way to check for the existence of a record with a given URL in all (open) databases ?
Not without looping through open databases.
Also, using the exists
command is a boolean and only going to tell you true or false. Perhaps you mean lookup records with URL
(and those also target a database or the current one).
Indeed, lookup records with URL
is exactly what I want.
