macOS How to save the list as txt file?

I don't know about Applescript, but you can simply do this to save the list in a text file:

cd /Applications
ls > file.txt

If you specifically need Applescript I hope someone else can help you

not sure if i am understanding this right, but maybe i can help you...

Try to select all the applications and copy them. then open up textedit and paste and match style (do not paste as it wont work and will quit textedit). You will have a list of the applications you have copied...

hope it helps you

What sort of information do you need? Using the below command may be a bit more thorough:

Here's simplified AppleScript. You don't need all those tell applications. It'll ask for a name of the file with a prompt, then use it in the output command. If it'll be a fixed name for the output you can skip the prompt and tie it in directly to the cmd. It's also currently set to save the file to your home directory.
