quicksilver tags in geektool script version 3 (See related posts)

// can anyone tell me what this is? Is it applescript?
How do I call it from geektool? I found this here
http://theappleblog.com/community/development/588-displaying-quicksiler-tags/#post6596

set QuicksilverTags to (path to home folder as string) & "Library:Caches:Quicksilver:Indexes:QSPresetQSFileTagsPlugIn.qsindex"

do shell script "grep string " & (quoted form of POSIX path of QuicksilverTags) & " | awk {'print $1'}"

set theTags to result

--> From the MacScripter.net Text Delimiters Tutorial.
set newText to switchText of theTags from "qs.tag.file" to ""
to switchText of currentText from SearchString to ReplaceString
        set storedDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to SearchString
        set currentText to currentText's text items
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ReplaceString
        set currentText to currentText as Unicode text
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to storedDelimiters
        
        currentText
        
        set this_text to currentText
        
        set new_text to ""
        
        --> From the MacScripter Forum.
        repeat with myPara in paragraphs of this_text
                if new_text does not contain myPara then set new_text to new_text & myPara & return
        end repeat
        set new_text to (characters 1 thru -2 of new_text) as text
        
        set more_text to new_text
        set replace_text to ""
        
        --> From MacScripter Forum.
        repeat with myPara in paragraphs of more_text
                
                if replace_text does not contain myPara then set replace_text to replace_text & (text 9 thru -10 of myPara) & return
        end repeat
        
        set output to "Tags: " & return & replace_text
        
end switchText -- the end of the handler.

This is in fact AppleScript. Use 'Script Editor' to save it and save it in ~/Library/Scripts and QuickSilver should pick it up automatically
