I'm very new to BBEdit, but if an AppleScript solution would work for you without using BBEdit, then try this. I don't know where the text you are appending is coming from but this script will assume it's on the clipboard. tell app "Finder" to set x to the clipboard set clipFil to (path to desktop folder as text) & "BrowserClips.txt" try close access file clipFil end try set filRef to open for access file clipFil with write permission write x & return to filRef starting at eof --adds a carriage return to end of appended text close access filRef -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
