如何使用 AppleScript 按类别筛选 Outlook for Mac 日历事件答案

【问题标题】：How to filter Outlook for Mac calendar events by category using AppleScript如何使用 AppleScript 按类别筛选 Outlook for Mac 日历事件

【问题描述】：

我正在尝试在 OSX 上编写 Applescript，以根据事件类别过滤 Outlook for Mac 2011 日历事件，例如找到所有标记为“会议”的事件。例如，我有一个名为“WWDC”的日历事件，可以通过以下脚本找到：

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
  set theCategoryConference to first category whose name is "Conference"
  set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose (subject is "WWDC")
  display dialog "There were " & (count of theConferenceList) & " Conferences."
  set theEvent to item 1 of items of theConferenceList
  display dialog "Categories contains conference: " & (categories of theEvent contains {theCategoryConference})
end tell

上面找到 1 个事件，最后一行显示“true”，因为该事件已被标记为会议类别。

但我真正想做的是找到所有此类事件。以下未能匹配任何事件：

set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose categories contains {theCategoryConference}

是否可以使用不同的语法，或者这是 Outlook for Mac 的限制，它可能不允许基于嵌套集合（calendar event 对象上的categories 属性）过滤事件？

在这里，我们使用 Spotlight/mdfind/mdls 解决方法来查找所有相关的分类事件。

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
    set theCategoryConference to first category whose name is "Conference"
    set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose (subject is "WWDC")
    display dialog "There were " & (count of theConferenceList) & " Conferences."
    set theEvent to item 1 of items of theConferenceList
    display dialog "Categories contains conference: " & (categories of theEvent contains {theCategoryConference})
    --set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose categories contains {theCategoryConference}

    set currentIdentityFolder to quoted form of POSIX path of (current identity folder as string)
    set cmd to "mdfind -onlyin " & currentIdentityFolder & "  'kMDItemContentType == com.microsoft.outlook14.event && com_microsoft_outlook_categories == " & id of theCategoryConference & "' | xargs -I % mdls -name com_microsoft_outlook_recordID '%' | cut -d'=' -f2 | sort -u | paste -s -"
    set theEventIDs to words of (do shell script cmd)

    set theConferenceList to {}
    repeat with thisEventID in theEventIDs
        set end of theConferenceList to calendar event id thisEventID
    end repeat

    -- For example display the subject of the first event
    display dialog subject of (item 1 of theConferenceList) as string
end tell
