I don't know if this is of any interest. All it does is put any text on the clip
oard in a new BBEdit file and then save it in a special folder I've created for
t.
The filename is in this format: yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss
Obviously you'd need to change the path in the variable file_path to one that wi
l work with you set up.
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
make new text document with properties {contents:current clipboard}
end tell
set file_name_year to year of (current date) as string
set file_name_month to month of (current date) as number
if file_name_month Š 9 then
set file_name_month to "0" & file_name_month
end if
set file_name_day to day of (current date) as number
if file_name_day Š 9 then
set file_name_day to "0" & file_name_day
end if
set secs to time of (current date)
if secs hours then
--An hour or longer...
set h to secs div 3600
set minutes_left to secs mod 3600
set m to minutes_left div 60
set s to minutes_left mod 60
else if secs minutes then
--A minute or longer
set h to 0
set m to secs div 60
set s to secs mod 60
else
set h to 0
set m to 0
set s to secs
end if
if h Š 9 then
set h to "0" & h
end if
if m Š 9 then
set m to "0" & m
end if
if s Š 9 then
set s to "0" & s
end if
set file_title to file_name_year & "-" & file_name_month & "-" & file_name_day &
"-" & h & "-" & m & "-" & s as string
set file_path to "Macintosh HD:Users:your_home_folder:a_special_folder:" & file_
itle
tell application "BBEdit"
tell document 1
save to file file_path
end tell
end tell
