Thanks very much. That got me most of the way there. Here is my final
code that seems to be working:
tell application "BBEdit"
set theSelection to the selection as string
set myQuery to do shell script "php -r 'echo trim(urlencode(" & "\""
& theSelection & "" & "\"));'"
open location "https://www.google.com/search?
as_sitesearch=codeigniter.com%2Fuser_guide%2F&q=" & myQuery & "&sa=Go"
end tell
Essentially I only needed change the myquery variable name passed to
PHP to theSelection. Thanks again!
I was trying to find AppleScript encoding examples. I found a couple
long ones but could not get them working. I never would have thought
of using PHP like that. Thanks again!
