I'm posting this here mainly because it is perverse.
It is probably the most complex applescript I've ever had the "honor" of creating. This script generates a new applescript that will recreate the frontmost OmniOutliner document as best it can. It supports multiple columns and column datatypes. I used it while working at Omni to test the applescript support and help automate some of our testing. It should be of use to anyone who wants to automate some stuff into a clean editable format just shy of a full fledged spreadsheet (If you haven't looked at OmniOutliner's column support, you really should).
