I have to create a printable file out of email newsletters I receive regularly. I thought I could record an AppleScript. I copied the mail, then opened BBEdit and started recording. When I finished I tried to see if it worked but I got the following message:

A scripting error has occurred: BBEdit got an error: The selection range must be non-empty before attempting a cut or copy.

The script is as follows:

tell application "BBEdit"
        activate
        make new text document with properties {contents:current clipboard}
        remove line breaks text 1 of text document 1
replace "\\r\\r" using "\\r" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search mode:literal, starting at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}
        copy selection
replace "**************************" using "\ \r**************************\\r" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search mode:literal, starting at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}
end tell

What mistake am I doing?

Thank you.
