Search Again: Re: Delete a MX record from all zones From: Men & Mice Support Date: Thursday, April 3, 2003 Time: 4:14:15 pm The scripts included with QuickDNS Manager are intended to be used as examples. Here's a quick and dirty script that should do roughly what you want: ____________________________________________________________________ tell application "QuickDNS Manager" -- adjust the application name as needed set theZones to (the name of every zone) repeat with theZone in theZones set theZone to theZone as text set theDoc to (open zone theZone) tell theDoc set theRecs to a reference to (every MX record whose name is "") repeat with i from (count of theRecs) to 1 by -1 set theRec to a reference to item i of theRecs set theMailHost to (the mailhost name of theRec) as string if theMailHost does not end with "." then set theMailHost to (theMailHost & "." & theZone) end if if the mailhost name of theRec is "the.old.mail.server." then delete theRec end if end repeat end tell end repeat end tell ____________________________________________________________________ The reason the loop has to count down from last to first is, if you delete item 3 in a list, the next item, formerly item 4, is now item 3. However, item 2 remains item 2. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 4:52 PM -0400 4/3/03, Javier Galvez wrote: >Hi, > >I would like to get an applescript for DELETING records from all zones. > >There is an applescript in SUPPORT installed within quickdns 3.5.3 that is >called ADD RECORD TO ALL ZONES. > >What I need to do is DELETE a MX record from all zones. > >Please be kind to send me or guide me to any site that holds applescripts >examples or complete solutions. > >Thank you a lot > >Javier Galvez >MegaLink >+(591)-715-22149 >jcgalvez@megalink.com
