At 07:52 p +0100 06/07/2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] didst inscribe
upon an electronic papyrus:
This version runs in BBEdit if available, otherwise TextWrangler:
tell application "Finder"
if exists file "BBEdit.app" in (path to applications folder) then
set theTextEditor to "BBEdit"
else if exists file "TextWrangler.app" in (path to applications
folder) then
set theTextEditor to "TextWrangler"
You might want to avoid those assumptions. I have *no* apps loose in
the applications folder; all are in subfolders (yep, even apple apps).
Use this instead:
exists application file id "com.barebones.bbedit"
and likewise for textwrangler.
Oooh, hold on... bug in Finder X -- 'exists' is not trapping errors
like it should, so that'll need to be in a 'try' block. (I wonder if
there's time to get this bug in for 10.4.10....)
else
display dialog "This script is designed for BBEdit or TextWrangler;
it may or may not work with another application."
set theTextEditor to (choose application)
end if
end tell
-- testing
tell application theTextEditor
set tstart to (current date)
set m to make new document with properties {contents:"foo"}
tell front window
repeat 200 times
select insertion point after last line
set selection to ((current date) as text) & return
end repeat
end tell
end tell
display dialog (current date) - tstart
