Maybe this is not exactly what you're looking for, but I have a simple
AppleScript that allows the current selection, or current line if
there is no selection, to be executed as a shell command within any
BBEdit text window, including the new scratchpad in version 9. This is
accomplished by passing the input to AppleScript's "do shell script"
command.
Furthermore, if the document's source language is set to PHP/HTML,
Perl, or Ruby, the appropriate command line interpreter will be used
to execute the input (e.g. "perl -e" for a document with its source
language set to Perl).
I'm sure my script could be improved (and I encourage you to share any
improvements you might add), but it has served me quite nicely for
over a year now. It's very handy to be able to select a line of code
and hit a quick keyboard shortcut to execute it in place (I use Cmd-
Opt-Ctrl-Return).
If you're interested, you can download the script here:
