Is there someway to do this without writing a script?
Well, if you consider selecting 'Start Recording' from the scripts
menu 'not writing a script', then yes ;-)
Create the clippings you need for your file. (As suggested by Bill in
his first reply)
Start recording.
Create a new empty file.
Add the clippings you want (whose placeholders will be substituted as
exepcted)
Stop recording.
Name the script for the document template you want.
You then have a named script, available from the Script menu, which
creates the templated file you wanted.
R
(PS This procedure creates really simple to edit scripts too :
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
make new text document
insert clipping alias "Main Drive:Users:dd:Library:Application
Support:BBEdit:Clippings:Universal Items:Current Date & Time" into
text window 1
end tell
)
