Hey Phil,
This one is quite easy as you'll see.
Manually copy to the clipboard:
try
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text document
if (count of lines) ≥ 1217 then
select (lines 1 thru 1217)
else
error "Not Enough Lines!"
end if
end tell
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
set {cr, sep} to {return, "------------------------------------------"}
set e to sep & cr & "Error: " & errMsg & cr & sep & cr & "Error Number:
" & errNum & cr & sep
beep
display dialog e
end try
Let the script copy the text to the clipboard without selecting it:
try
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text document
if (count of lines) ≥ 1217 then
set the clipboard to (get contents of (lines 1
thru 1217))
else
error "Not Enough Lines!"
end if
end tell
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
set {cr, sep} to {return, "------------------------------------------"}
set e to sep & cr & "Error: " & errMsg & cr & sep & cr & "Error Number:
" & errNum & cr & sep
beep
display dialog e
end try
