Hi all:
Thanks for all the suggestions about replacing search mode:literal
with search mode:grep (silly mistake on my part). Unfortunately, the
error still occurs after I do so. Other thoughts?
Cheers,
Ian

Hi all:
I'm trying to write an Applescript that uses BBEdit to do a replace
using grep. My code currently looks like:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
open j opening in new_window
tell text document 1
activate
set searchStr to "2007-08-\\d\\d"
set replaceStr to "<!--MODDATE-->" & mod_date &
"<!--\\/MODDATE-->"
replace (searchStr as string) using (replaceStr as string)
options {search mode:literal, starting at top:true} searching in
text 1 of text window 1
save text window 1
close window 1
end tell
end tell
but, when it gets to the "replace" line, I get the error:
-1708
BBEdit got an error: "2007-08-\\d\\d" doesn't understand the
replace message
I can't find any documentation about that error. Any ideas/help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian
