Unfortunately I haven't found a way to

with for producing script sets for both applications is to use a sed

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"
This assumes you keep your BBEdit app in /Applications/. I don't,
and I suspect a lot of other people don't.
For example, BBEdit, since it is licensed to ME is in ~/Applications/
and Textwrangler is in /Applications/3rd Party/ with all the other
generic third party applications.
else if exists file "TextWrangler.app" in (path to applications
folder) then
set theTextEditor to "TextWrangler"
else
set theTextEditor to (choose application)
end if
Either way, you are probably better off doing something like this:
property MyEditor : ""
tell application "System Events"
if exists file "BBEdit.app" in (path to applications folder) then
set DefaultChoice to "BBEdit"
else if exists file "TextWrangler.app" in (path to applications
folder) then
set DefaultChoice to "TextWrangler"
else
set MyEditor to (choose application)
end if
if not (MyEditor) then
set MyEditor to DefaultChoice
end if
end tell
er.. something like that.
