I have an old Applescript for searching and pasting, but it no longer seems to
work, seems to fail. What am I doing wrong here?
property SearchItems : {}
property SearchPattern : ""
property CollumNames : ""
-- define the search target:
-- search a complete folder:
set SearchItems to choose folder with prompt "Choose a search folder:" -- ask
the user to specify a search folder
-- specify the search pattern:
set DialogResult to display dialog "Search for:" default answer SearchPattern
with icon note buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
if button returned of DialogResult is not "Cancel" then
set SearchPattern to text returned of DialogResult
end if
tell application "BBEdit"
set myNewWindowData to ""
find "^.*" & SearchPattern & ".*$" searching in SearchItems options
{search mode:grep, case sensitive:false, returning results:true}
if found of the result then
set findResults to found matches of the result
repeat with theResultItem in findResults
open (result_file of theResultItem)
set s to characters (start_offset of theResultItem)
thru (end_offset of theResultItem) of window 1
set myNewWindowData to myNewWindowData & s & return as
string
close window 1
end repeat
end if
make new text window with properties {contents:myNewWindowData}
set CollumNames to "Reel Name Log Note Media Start
Media End Tracks" as text
copy (CollumNames as string) & return to insertion point before
character 1 of text window 1 -- goto line 1
end tell
