Execute Text is a service I found somewhere long ago. Have a look at BBEdit's BBEdit menu and see if there is a usable service already provided by Apple. Ann then you can use BBEdit worksheets but perhaps not if you need to use the file as an input source to SQL later. That capability died with BBEdit 5 or so when Bare Bones changed the format of worksheets from simple TEXT to XML. The worksheet method allows retention of shell variables - like PWD - The service concept will spawn a new shell that is ignorant of earlier settings. Applescript will do the same thing while insisting that you use sh instead of $SHELL. -- --> A fair tax is one that you pay but I don't <--
