applescript - Extracting value of author <class > id property -

i trying author id tweet in mac twitter app.

tell application "twitter" properties of item 3 of status of (home timeline of account 1) end tell 

tell application "twitter" author of item 3 of status of (home timeline of account 1) end tell 

how can isolate "128938832" ?

solution: chris applescript-users mailing list answered question. author property has user id property. user id of author of item 3 of status of (home timeline of account 1) returns "128938832".

i don't have twitter, if there aren't terms id of author, cheat forcing error , extract number error message, example:

tell application "twitter" try     (author of item 3 of status of (home timeline of account 1)) number -- force error on error errmess -- extract info error message     set here (offset of quote in errmess) + 1 -- first quote     set there here + (offset of quote in (text here thru -1 of errmess)) - 2 -- second quote     set authorid text here thru there of errmess end try
