I'm puttering around with a RealBasic project and have a particular need
-- I need for it to be able to tell BBEdit to open a text file and jump
to a particular line in the file. I've taken a quick look at the BBEdit
Applescript directory and nothing obvious jumps out and hits me in the
face, nor does Google bring much joy.
The most general form of the problem needs to do this:
Open BBEdit if it isn't already open
Open a particular document if it isn't already open (this I have no
problems with...)
Bring it to the front.
Jump to line N in the file.
Anyone got something that will do this, helpful pointers, etc?
RealBasic is nice in that I can import an applescript and use it as a
function (and send appleevents if need be), so that part of the problem
is solved; it's just a matter of the scripting.
My standard bribe (your choice of any DVD from the AnimEigo catalog) to
the first person who can help me out with this; possible bonus bribes
for particularly helpful replies. Bribe null and void if the reply
includes the phrase "It's simple..."
Best
